Transcription factor details–and sources of information about them and their binding sites–are definitely among the the most common questions we hear in our workshops. There are ways to look at predictions of binding, and for some species evidence of binding, and there are ways to look for binding motifs. But these resources vary in methods [...]
BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions. We are members of thecommunity and find it very useful. Often questions and answers arise at BioStar that are germane to our readers (end users of genomics resources). Every Thursday we will be highlighting one of those questions and answers here in this thread. [...]
Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment… Wait, where is the $100 genome exactly? I must have missed a tweet somewhere RT @deanhendrix: [...]
Need to explore transcription factor binding sites (TFBS)? If you reading this, you might know already, but just to recap: Transcription is regulated through the binding of transcription factor proteins to specific cis-level regulatory sites in the DNA. The nature of this regulation depends on the transcription factor. For example, some proteins activate transcription by recruiting [...]
Lately we’re getting a lot of questions about ways to analyze the promoters and other regulatory aspects of genes. And for a while we were mostly pointing to the prediction data that was available in the UCSC Genome Browser’s TFBS Conserved track. TFBS Conserved is a track of computationally predicted transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) [...]
