Transcription regulatory regions database (TRRD): its status in 2000.

Transcription Regulatory Regions Database (TRRD) has been developed for accumulation of experimental information on the structure-function features of regulatory regions of eukaryotic genes. Each entry in TRRD corresponds to a particular gene and contains a description of structure-function features of its regulatory regions (transcription factor binding sites, promoters, enhancers, silencers, etc.) and gene expression regulation patterns. The current release, TRRD 4.2.5, comprises the description of 760 genes, 3403 expression patterns, and >4600 regulatory elements including 3604 transcription factor binding sites, 600 promoters and 152 enhancers. This information was obtained through annotation of 2537 scientific publications. TRRD 4.2.5 is available through the WWW at http://wwwmgs.bionet.nsc.ru/mgs/dbases/trrd4/

Transcription Regulatory Regions Database (TRRD):its status in 1999.

The Transcription Regulatory Regions Database (TRRD) is a curated database designed for accumulation of experimental data on extended regulatory regions of eukaryotic genes, the regulatory elements they contain, i.e., transcription factor binding sites, promoters, enhancers, silencers, etc., and expression patterns of the genes. Release 4.1 of TRRD offers a number of significant improvements, in particular, a more detailed description of transcription factor binding sites, transcription factors per se, and gene expression patterns in a computer-readable format. In addition, the new TRRD release provides considerably more references to other molecular biological databases. TRRD 4.1 is installed under SRS and is available through the WWW at http://www.bionet.nsc.ru/trrd/

Databases on transcriptional regulation: TRANSFAC, TRRD and COMPEL.

TRANSFAC, TRRD (Transcription Regulatory Region Database) and COMPEL are databases which store information about transcriptional regulation in eukaryotic cells. The three databases provide distinct views on the components involved in transcription: transcription factors and their binding sites and binding profiles (TRANSFAC), the regulatory hierarchy of whole genes (TRRD), and the structural and functional properties of composite elements (COMPEL). The quantitative and qualitative changes of all three databases and connected programs are described. The databases are accessible via WWW:http://transfac.gbf.de/TRANSFAC orhttp://www.bionet.nsc.ru/TRRD

GeneNet: a gene network database and its automated visualization.

MOTIVATION: Gene networks that provide the regulation of physiological processes are the basic feature of organisms. Information regarding the regulation of gene expression and signal transduction pathways is increasing rapidly. However, the information is hard to formalize and systematize. Ways and means for automated visualization of the gene networks based on their formalized description are needed. RESULTS: The object-oriented database GeneNet and the software for its automated visualization have been developed. The main principles of a formalized description of the gene network have been worked out. Antiviral response and erythropoiesis are provided as examples to show how this is achieved. The GeneNet graphical user interface written in Java provides automated generation of the gene network diagrams and allows visualization and exploration of the GeneNet database through the Internet. A system of filters allows the selection of particular components of the network for visualization. AVAILABILITY: The GeneNet database and its graphical user interface are available at http://wwwmgs.bionet.nsc.ru/systems/MGL/GeneN et/ CONTACT: fedor@bionet.nsc.ru

GeneExpress: a computer system for description, analysis, and recognition of regulatory sequences in eukaryotic genome.

GeneExpress system has been designed to integrate description, analysis, and recognition of eukaryotic regulatory sequences. The system includes 5 basic units: (1) GeneNet contains an object-oriented database for accumulation of data on gene networks and signal transduction pathways and a Java-based viewer that allows an exploration and visualization of the GeneNet information; (2) Transcription Regulation combines the database on transcription regulatory regions of eukaryotic genes (TRRD) and TRRD Viewer; (3) Transcription Factor Binding Site Recognition contains a compilation of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSC) and programs for their analysis and recognition; (4) mRNA Translation is designed for analysis of structural and contextual features of mRNA 5'UTRs and prediction of their translation efficiency; and (5) ACTIVITY is the module for analysis and site activity prediction of a given nucleotide sequence. Integration of the databases in the GeneExpress is based on the Sequence Retrieval System (SRS) created in the European Bioinformatics Institute.

Integrated databases and computer systems for studying eukaryotic gene expression.

MOTIVATION: The goal of the work was to develop a WWW-oriented computer system providing a maximal integration of informational and software resources on the regulation of gene expression and navigation through them. Rapid growth of the variety and volume of information accumulated in the databases on regulation of gene expression necessarily requires the development of computer systems for automated discovery of the knowledge that can be further used for analysis of regulatory genomic sequences. RESULTS: The GeneExpress system developed includes the following major informational and software modules: (1) Transcription Regulation (TRRD) module, which contains the databases on transcription regulatory regions of eukaryotic genes and TRRD Viewer for data visualization; (2) Site Activity Prediction (ACTIVITY), the module for analysis of functional site activity and its prediction; (3) Site Recognition module, which comprises (a) B-DNA-VIDEO system for detecting the conformational and physicochemical properties of DNA sites significant for their recognition, (b) Consensus and Weight Matrices (ConsFrec) and (c) Transcription Factor Binding Sites Recognition (TFBSR) systems for detecting conservative contextual regions of functional sites and their recognition; (4) Gene Networks (GeneNet), which contains an object-oriented database accumulating the data on gene networks and signal transduction pathways, and the Java-based Viewer for exploration and visualization of the GeneNet information; (5) mRNA Translation (Leader mRNA), designed to analyze structural and contextual properties of mRNA 5'-untranslated regions (5'-UTRs) and predict their translation efficiency; (6) other program modules designed to study the structure-function organization of regulatory genomic sequences and regulatory proteins.

Interactive data input into the GeneNet database.

SUMMARY: The GeneNet database has been developed for a formalized hierarchical description of the gene networks. To provide rapid data accumulation in the database, the Java graphical interface for data input through the Internet by independent experts equipped with convenient visual tools is developed.

[Automatic generation of gene network schemes based on their formalized description in the GeneNet database].

A database for gene networks GeneNet was created. The main principles of formalized description of gene networks for the cases of regulation of antiviral responses and hemopoiesis were developed. A program for automatic graphical representation of diagrams of gene networks was created, which is based on their formalized description. A system of filters was developed, which makes it possible to select individual network components for graphical representation. The selection can be performed with respect to specific type of treatment, species, and/or cell type. The GeneNet database is accessible via Internet at http://wwwmgs.bionet.nsc.ru/systems/MGL/Gen eNet.

[GeneExpress: an integrator for databases and computer systems accessible by the Internet and intended for studying eukaryotic gene expression].

We have developed GeneExpress that is the WWW-oriented integrator for the databases and systems supporting the investigation of gene expression. The total number of the Web-based resources integrated is 30. The database GeneNet on molecular events forming gene networks was assigned its integrative core. To navigate all these WWW-available resources, the SRS, HTML, and Java viewers were developed, http:@wwwmgs.bionet.nsc.ru/systems/GeneExpress/.
