- Database: TFClass
- Purpose: To provide a list and classification of human transcription factors based on DNA-binding domains *.
- A taxonomy for transcription factors including their superclass, class, family, subfamily, genus, and factor species.
11.) Once you search for a specific transcription factor, the database will give you links to that sequence on ProteinAtlas, BIO GPS, Transfac, and Uniprot. 12.) As far as I can tell, the information is available online only and cannot be downloaded. 13.) The website is not super user-friendly, but it also isn't complex. The website is essentially comprised of one page with a brief explanation of TFClass, a search bar, and a collapsable/expandable tree of transcription factors. There is no help section or tutorial, but there are two questions marks that, when you hover over them with your mouse, will tell you what you can search, and what the "collapse all" and "expand all" buttons do.
