Target Explorer -- an automated tool for the identification of new target genes for a specified set of transcription factors
What you can do:
Predict clusters of binding sites for transcription factors in the context information taken from genome annotations.
Highlights:
- Target Explorer automates the entire process from the creation of a customized library of binding sites for known transcription factors through the prediction and annotation of putative target genes that are potentially regulated by these factors.
- It was specifically designed for the well-annotated Drosophila melanogaster genome, but most options can be used for sequences from other genomes as well.
- Target Explorer is a complex tool with user-friendly self-explanatory Web-interface that allows to user: create customized library of TF binding site matrices based on user defined sets of training sequences;
- search for new clusters of binding sites for specified set of TFs; extract annotation for potential target genes.
