About

The long-term goal of TFe is to create an online encyclopedic collection of well-studied transcription factor proteins in the human, mouse, and rat genomes, combining a mixture of both expert-curated and automatically-populated content to provide users with a wide set of information relevant to a transcription factor protein of their interest.

In the short-term, we are working with experts from around the world to produce over 100 high-quality "mini review" articles of key transcription factors for publication in a peer-reviewed, open-access journal. We are pleased to report that we are on track to publish this collection of reviews in the first quarter of 2010.

The TFe provides details of transcription factor binding sites in close collaboration with Pazar, a public database of transcription factor and regulatory sequence information. Our TF classification scheme is derived from TFCat. The TFe is an initiative of the Wasserman laboratory.
