WebGeSTer DB -- Web GEnome Scanner for TERminators
What you can do:
Find information about intrinsic terminators of transcription.
Highlights:
- WebGeSTer DB is a database of intrinsic transcription terminators.
- The database has a million terminators identified in 1060 bacterial genome sequences and 798 plasmids.
- Users can obtain both graphic and tabular results on putative terminators based on default or user-defined parameters.
- An interactive map has been incorporated to visualize the distribution of terminators across the whole genome.
- Analysis of the results, both at the whole-genome level and with respect to terminators downstream of specific genes, offers insight into the prevalence of canonical and non-canonical terminators across different phyla.
- The data in the database reinforce the paradigm that intrinsic termination is a conserved and efficient regulatory mechanism in bacteria.
