TRANSFAC BASIC

TRANSFAC® is the database of eukaryotic transcription factors, their genomic binding sites and DNA-binding profiles. Dating back to a very early compilation 35 years ago, it has been carefully maintained and curated to become the gold standard in the field. Since then this biggest collection of transcription factors and their genomics binding sites has served the scientific community as the most reliable and comprehensive resource for gene regulation studies.

You can use TRANSFAC® as an encyclopedia of transcriptional regulation, or as a tool to identify potential TFBSs by applying its library of positional weight matrices, a unique collection of DNA-binding models. The latter can be done with the included MATCH (Suite) tools or with any of the respective modules in the geneXplain platform.
