____ is a database on transcription factors and their binding sites
|
|
(a) DDBJ
|
|
|
(b) PDB
|
|
|
( c) EMBL
|
|
|
d) TRANSFAC
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -TRANSFAC is a database about eukaryotic transcription regulating DNA sequence elements and the transcription factors binding to and acting through them.
Detailed explanation-2: -The binding sites for transcription factors are often close to a gene’s promoter. However, they can also be found in other parts of the DNA, sometimes very far away from the promoter, and still affect transcription of the gene.
Detailed explanation-3: -The TF2DNA database provides comprehensive information about transcription factor binding motifs and their regulated genes for five model organisms and humans. Binding motifs are gathered from experimental and theoretical sources.
