Computational identification and experimental characterization of preferred downstream positions in human core promoters

Author summary Transcription of genes by the RNA polymerase II enzyme initiates at a genomic region termed the core promoter. The core promoter is a regulatory region that may contain diverse short DNA sequence motifs/elements that confer specific properti ...

EPD in 2020: enhanced data visualization and extension to ncRNA promoters

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, Romain Fernand Pietro Groux, René Dreos, Patrick Meylan

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD), available online at https://epd.epfl.ch, provides accurate transcription start site (TSS) information for promoters of 15 model organisms plus corresponding functional genomics data that can be viewed in a genome bro ...

Opposing chromatin remodelers control transcription initiation frequency and start site selection

Philipp Bucher, René Dreos

Precise nucleosome organization at eukaryotic promoters is thought to be generated by multiple chromatin remodeler (CR) enzymes and to affect transcription initiation. Using an integrated analysis of chromatin remodeler binding and nucleosome occupancy fol ...

The ChIP-Seq tools and web server: a resource for analyzing ChIP-seq and other types of genomic data

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, René Dreos, Sunil Kumar

ChIP-seq and related high-throughput chromatin profilig assays generate ever increasing volumes of highly valuable biological data. To make sense out of it, biologists need versatile, efficient and user-friendly tools for access, visualization and itegrati ...

Influence of Rotational Nucleosome Positioning on Transcription Start Site Selection in Animal Promoters

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, René Dreos

The recruitment of RNA-Pol-II to the transcription start site (TSS) is an important step in gene regulation in all organisms. Core promoter elements (CPE) are conserved sequence motifs that guide Pol-II to the TSS by interacting with specific transcription ...

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database: expansion of EPDnew and new promoter analysis tools

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, René Dreos, Rouayda Cavin Perier

We present an update of EPDNew (http://epd. vital-it. ch), a recently introduced new part of the Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) which has been described in more detail in a previous NAR Database Issue. EPD is an old database of experimentally character ...

Principles of ChIP-seq Data Analysis Illustrated with Examples

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, René Dreos

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a powerful method to determine how transcription factors and other chromatin-associated proteins interact with DNA in order to regulate gene transcription. A single C ...

EPD and EPDnew, high-quality promoter resources in the next-generation sequencing era

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, René Dreos, Rouayda Cavin Perier

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD), available online at http://epd.vital-it.ch, is a collection of experimentally defined eukaryotic POL II promoters which has been maintained for more than 25 years. A promoter is represented by a single position in th ...
