Database of Transcriptional Start Sites
Tutorial and training materials by OpenHelix
| Learn to use the DataBase of Transcriptional Start Sites, DBTSS, a public resource for the analysis of promoter regions. It contains data on all transcriptional start sites that have been reported for a particular gene, compiling data from its own experimental sources as well as other genome databases. Important additional annotations such as transcription factor binding sites and SNPs can be visualized. | |||||
You'll learn:
- to examine promoter regions in human, and in selected other species
- to locate transcriptional start sites, promoters, transcription factor binding sites and SNPs
- to use multiple query strategies to identify data of interest
More about the resource:
The DataBase of Transcriptional Start Sites is a valuable resource for the analysis of promoter regions. The DBTSS is freely available in the public domain, and is hosted and managed by the Human Genome Center of Japan, at the University of Tokyo. DBTSS combines computational analysis with experimental data to create a valuable resource.
