Gene Regulatory Information Server (AGRIS)


The Arabidopsis Gene Regulatory Information Server (AGRIS) is a new information resource of Arabidopsis promoter sequences, transcription factors and their target genes. AGRIS currently contains two databases, AtcisDB (Arabidopsis thaliana cis-regulatory database) and AtTFDB (Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor database). The two databases, used in tandem, provide a powerful tool for use in continuous research.
AtcisDB consists of 25,516 promoter sequences of annotated Arabidopsis genes with a description of putative cis-regulatory elements.
AtTFDB contains information on approximately 1,770 transcription factors. These transcription factors are grouped into 50 families, based on the presence of conserved DNA-binding domains.
