Conclusion
ExtraTrain is a new database for exploring extragenic regions and transcriptional information in bacteria and archaea.
Supporting Evidence
- ExtraTrain includes data for 679816 extragenic regions and 26046 regulatory proteins.
- The database allows users to explore extragenic regions and search for regulatory signals.
- ExtraTrain is open to contributions from the scientific community for continuous updates.
Takeaway
ExtraTrain is like a library that helps scientists find and study the parts of DNA that control how genes work in tiny living things like bacteria.
Methodology
The database was constructed using Java programs to parse data from UniProt and NCBI genome databases.
Limitations
The database is limited to the data available from NCBI and UniProt, and may not cover all prokaryotic organisms.
