Swissregulon Database contains genome-wide annotations of regulatory sites. The predictions are based on Bayesian probabilistic analysis of a combination of input information including:

  • Experimentally determined binding sites reported in the literature.
  • Known sequence-specificities of transcription factors.
  • ChIP-chip and ChIP-seq data.
  • Alignments of orthologous non-coding regions.

Predictions were made using the PhyloGibbs, MotEvo, IRUS and ISMARA algorithms developed in our group, depending on the data available for each organism. Annotations can be viewed in a Gbrowse genome browser and can also be downloaded in flat file format.
