The Mammalian Promoter Database (MPromDb) is a curated
ChIP-seq.[1] The proximal promoter region (upstream of the core-promoter region) contains the cis-regulatory elements of most of the transcription factors (TFs).[2]
Recently, a better approach to annotate active promoters has been demonstrated with a combination of ChIP-seq and
eukaryotic organisms are provided by an EPD database;[5] however, promoter activity information at tissue/ cell
centric level is not offered.
The MPromDb data base added active
RNA Pol-II ChIP-seq reads have already been analyzed from 26 different databases, including six human cell-types and 10 distinct mouse cell/tissues.[1]
