URL:
http://insulatordb.utmem.edu
What you can do:
Search for comprehensive information of known insulator elements in the vertebrates.
Highlights:
  • InsulatorDB is a comprehensive collection of known insulator elements in the vertebrates.
  • This release of InsulatorDB contains 315 entries, collected from individual experiments and a large-scale insulator identification project.3 Multiple sources of relevant knowledge were integrated into InsulatorDB.
