What is "collectf"

CollecTF is a database of transcription factor binding sites in the Bacteria domain.

CollecTF compiles only experimentally validated TF-binding sites. This is accomplished through the manual curation of peer-reviewed literature with a special focus on the experimental process used to identify TF-binding sites.

CollecTF entries are periodically submitted to NCBI for integration into RefSeq complete genome records as link-out features, maximizing the visibility of the data and enriching the annotation of RefSeq files with regulatory information. Seeking to facilitate comparative genomics and machine-learning analyses of regulatory interactions, in its initial release CollecTF provides domain-wide coverage of two TF families ( LexA and Fur), as well as extensive representation for a clinically important bacterial family, the Vibrionaceae.
