Gene Regulation Tools Protein Engineering Tools
  This webpage collects links related to bioinformatics of gene regulation (mostly transcriptional regulation). At the top you can find resources developed locally by members of the Zlab, and below that we have organized external resources by category. On Sept 13th,2005, we fixed several broken links due to a recent server migration. Please contact us if you notice any glitches. Thank you!

Local Resources (Zlab)
Promoser - human, mouse and rat promoter extraction service

Possum - simple matrix-based motif search

CARRIE - Generate transcriptional regulatory networks from microarray and promoter sequence data

CisML - An XML format for Sequence Motif Detection Programs

HuGE Index - database of gene expression in normal human tissues

Cis-element information - count matrices and background info for some cis-elements

site2genome - locate sites in the human, mouse and rat genomes

REPFIND - find clustered, exact repeats in nucleotide sequences

ICSF - identifies conserved structural features at sequentially degenerate locations in transcription factor binding sites

  Tools to find motif clusters in DNA sequences

Cluster-Buster (newest method - our favorite!)
Comet (includes statistical significance estimates)
Cister (our original method)

Tools to find diagnostic motifs in a set of regulatory (e.g. promoter) sequences

GLAM - gapless local alignment of multiple sequences (motif discovery)

Clover - find overrepresented motifs in DNA sequences

ROVER - find relatively overrepresented motifs in DNA sequences. New Java Version Available

MotifViz - Integration of tools for detecting overrepresented motifs

SeqVISTA - a viewer of sequences and their annotations; now with a Motif module for integrating transcriptional regulation analysis tools.
