TL;DR: The TRANSFAC database on eukaryotic transcriptional regulation, comprising data on transcription factors, their target genes and regulatory binding sites, has been extended and further developed, both in number of entries and in the scope and structure of the collected data.

TL;DR: The sequence similarity of N, Toll, and IL-1R suggests that N mediates rapid gene induction and TMV resistance through a Toll-IL-1-like pathway.

TL;DR: The TRANSFAC content has been enhanced by information about training sequences used for the construction of nucleotide matrices as well as by data on plant sites and factors, and the database has been extended by two new modules.

TL;DR: The TRANSFAC database on transcription factors and their DNA-binding sites and profiles has been quantitatively extended and supplemented by a number of modules that give information about pathologically relevant mutations in regulatory regions and transcription factor genes (PathoDB), scaffold/matrix attached regions (S/MARt DB), signal transduction and gene expression sources (CYTOMER).

TL;DR: The Arabidopsis thaliana genome was screened for putative transcription factor binding sites and the underlying data were imported into the newly developed AthaMap database, which will be a valuable resource for generating models on gene expression regulation.
