hPDI: A database of experimental human protein-DNA interactions

Abstract

Summary: The human protein DNA Interactome (hPDI) database holds experimental protein-DNA interaction data for humans identified by protein microarray assays. The unique characteristics of hPDI are that it contains consensus DNA-binding sequences not only for nearly 500 human transcription factors but also for >500 unconventional DNA-binding proteins, which are completely uncharacterized previously. Users can browse, search and download a subset or the entire data via a web interface. This database is freely accessible for any academic purposes. © The Author 2009.
