ABS -- a database of Annotated regulatory Binding Sites from orthologous promoters
What you can do:
Search for known binding sites in promoters of orthologous vertebrate genes.
Highlights:
- ABS is a public database of known binding sites identified in promoters of orthologous vertebrate genes that have been manually curated from bibliography.
- It contains 650 annotated experimental binding sites from 68 transcription factors and 100 orthologous target genes in human, mouse, rat or chicken genome sequences.
- Computational predictions and promoter alignment information are also provided for each entry.
- A simple and easy-to-use web interface facilitates data retrieval allowing different views of the information.
- In addition, the 2006 release 1.0 of ABS includes a customizable generator of artificial datasets based on the known sites contained in the collection and an evaluation tool to aid during the training and the assessment of motif-finding programs.
- ABS is aimed to become a standard collection of high-quality data is important to design, evaluate and improve novel computational approaches to identify binding motifs on promoter sequences from related genes.
