TLDR
The TRANSFAC® database on transcription factors, their binding sites, nucleotide distribution matrices and regulated genes as well as the complementing database TRANSCompel® on composite elements have been further enhanced on various levels.Abstract:
The TRANSFAC database on transcription factors, their binding sites, nucleotide distribution matrices and regulated genes as well as the complementing database TRANSCompel on composite elements have been further enhanced on various levels. A new web interface with different search options and integrated versions of Match and Patch provides increased functionality for TRANSFAC. The list of databases which are linked to the common GENE table of TRANSFAC and TRANSCompel has been extended by: Ensembl, UniGene, EntrezGene, HumanPSD and TRANSPRO. Standard gene names from HGNC, MGI and RGD, are included for human, mouse and rat genes, respectively. With the help of InterProScan, Pfam, SMART and PROSITE domains are assigned automatically to the protein sequences of the transcription factors. TRANSCompel contains now, in addition to the COMPEL table, a separate table for detailed information on the experimental EVIDENCE on which the composite elements are based. Finally, for TRANSFAC, in respect of data growth, in particular the gain of Drosophila transcription factor binding sites (by courtesy of the Drosophila DNase I footprint database) and of Arabidopsis factors (by courtesy of DATF, Database of Arabidopsis Transcription Factors) has to be stressed. The here described public releases, TRANSFAC 7.0 and TRANSCompel 7.0, are accessible under http://www.gene-regulation.com/pub/databases.html.read more

Extensions to In Silico Bioactivity Predictions Using Pathway Annotations and Differential Pharmacology Analysis: Application to Xenopus laevis Phenotypic Readouts
Sonia Liggi,Georgios Drakakis,Adam E. Hendry,Kimberley Hanson,Suzanne C. Brewerton,Grant N. Wheeler,Michael J. Bodkin,David A. Evans,Andreas Bender +8 more
TL;DR: This work reviews approaches and applications of target prediction, as well as their shortcomings, and demonstrates two extensions of this concept which are exemplified using phenotypic readouts from a chemical genetic screen in Xenopus laevis, providing new insight into understanding the Mechanism of Action of compound activities from phenotypesic screens.

Evaluating the use of a CpG free promoter for long-term recombinant protein expression stability in Chinese hamster ovary cells
Steven C. L. Ho,Esther Y. C. Koh,Benjamin P. C. Soo,Mariati,Sheng-Hao Chao,Sheng-Hao Chao,Yuansheng Yang +6 more
TL;DR: Using a promoter without CpG dinucleotides could mitigate the early gene silencing but did not improve longer-term expression stability as silencing due to histone modifications could still take place.
Journal ArticleDOI
A short ultraconserved sequence drives transcription from an alternate FBN1 promoter
TL;DR: It is suggested that the ultraconservation may reflect the importance of finely tuned regulation of alternate transcription of FBN1 and that the sequences involved have been under negative selective pressure for at least the last 180 million years of mammalian evolution.

TL;DR: High allele frequency of tumor somatic variants can indicate driving functionality and can serve to identify potential cancer-implicated genes, as well as indicating possible favoring of truncated proteins by the tumor transcriptome.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that genetically determined local dysregulation of dietary vitamin C or antioxidants transport contributes to IBD development is strengthened, as these transporter proteins are targetable by dietary interventions.
