Human regulatory element database released
The cisRED database of computationally predicted regulatory elements has been updated to include an initial pilot set of predictions for 244 mouse genes, as well as v1.1b of human regulatory element predictions, which has been expanded to ~7K genes. Both releases are based on EnsEMBL v27, in which the human assembly is NCBI 35 and the mouse is NCBI 33.
The next releases of the database will expand the number of human and mouse genes, will use the larger set of orthologous genomes in EnsEMBL v30 or 31, and will offer an assessment of predictive accuracy based on TRANSFAC 9.1.
