Abstract
Here we present the Transcription Factor Encyclopedia (TFe), a new web-based compendium of mini review articles on transcription factors (TFs) that is founded on the principles of open access and collaboration. Our consortium of over 100 researchers has collectively contributed over 130 mini review articles on pertinent human, mouse and rat TFs. Notable features of the TFe website include a high-quality PDF generator and web API for programmatic data retrieval. TFe aims to rapidly educate scientists about the TFs they encounter through the delivery of succinct summaries written and vetted by experts in the field. TFe is available at http://www.cisreg.ca/tfe.

TRRUST v2: an expanded reference database of human and mouse transcriptional regulatory interactions.

TL;DR: A significant expansion in the database size and inclusion of the new web tool for TF prioritization mean that TRRUST v2 will be a versatile database for the study of the transcriptional regulation involved in human diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

JASPAR 2014: an extensively expanded and updated open-access database of transcription factor binding profiles.

TL;DR: The fifth major release greatly expands the heart of JASPAR—the JAS PAR CORE subcollection, which contains curated, non-redundant profiles—with 135 new curated profiles, mainly derived from published chromatin immunoprecipitation-seq experimental datasets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Forkhead box proteins: tuning forks for transcriptional harmony

TL;DR: The functional complexities of FOX proteins are coming to light and have established these transcription factors as possible therapeutic targets and putative biomarkers for specific cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benchmark and integration of resources for the estimation of human transcription factor activities.

TL;DR: A collection of TF-target interactions for 1541 human TFs was assembled and evaluated how different molecular and regulatory properties of the TFs, such as the DNA-binding domain, specificities, or mode of interaction with the chromatin, affect the predictions of TF activity.

Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Protein Data Bank

TL;DR: The goals of the PDB are described, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information and plans for the future development of the resource are described.

Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors.

TL;DR: Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts by introducing four factors, Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, under ES cell culture conditions is demonstrated and iPS cells, designated iPS, exhibit the morphology and growth properties of ES cells and express ES cell marker genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pfam protein families database

TL;DR: The definition and use of family-specific, manually curated gathering thresholds are explained and some of the features of domains of unknown function (also known as DUFs) are discussed, which constitute a rapidly growing class of families within Pfam.
