CTCFBSDB -- a CTCF-binding site database for characterization of vertebrate genomic insulators
What you can do:
A database that characterize experimentally identified and computationally predicted CTCF-binding sites.
Highlights:
- Biological knowledge and data from multiple resources have been integrated into the database, including sequence data, genetic polymorphisms, function annotations, histone methylation profiles, gene expression profiles and comparative genomic information.
- A web-based user interface was implemented for data retrieval, analysis and visualization.
- In silico prediction of CTCF-binding motifs is provided to facilitate the identification of candidate insulators in the query sequences submitted by users.
