Here are some questions and answers about the Erythron Database Website. If you do not find the information you are looking for, please contact us to submit your question.
Our gene identifier searches are case-insensitive and accept EntrezGene, MGI, or ENSEMBL Identifers, Official Gene Symbols and Gene Synonyms.
If a search allows a list of genes to be entered in a text box or uploaded from a file, the list may be separated by commas, semicolons or new-lines. For uploaded files tab separators work as well.
Click on the "Search" tab. There is a section on Transcriptional Regulation. These inlcude manually curated target gene lists pulled from published ChIP studies and targets for key regulators of erythropoiesis computationally inferred using a positional weight matrix (PWM) sequence matching approach.
Strategies are a graphical user interface (GUI) designed to make advanced searching and set operations (e.g., AND, OR, NOT) on search results easy for all users. The use of strategies facilitates the exploration of relationships across related datasets through the use of Venn Diagrams to detail a strategy's flow. For more details on the Strategy Framework, see Fischer et al. (2011). Database..
