MotifMap: genome-wide maps of regulatory elements.

The MotifMap system provides comprehensive maps of candidate regulatory elements encoded in the genomes of model species using databases of transcription factor binding motifs, refined genome alignments, and a comparative genomic statistical approach- Bayesian Branch Length Score

Getting Started

Motif Search allows users to select a transcription factor, view its binding sequence logo, and list its genome-wide putative binding sites.

Gene Search allows users to select a gene and search for transcription factor binding sites in regions upstream and downstream from its transcription start site.

SNPer allows users to select a genomic loci (e.g. a SNP) and search for overlapping or neighbouring transcription factor binding sites.

In all cases, users can filter the results by various criteria and export them to severals file formats or view them directly in the UCSC genome browser.

New! MotifMap-RNA Portal

A new portal for all MotifMap functions including the new MotifMap-RNA functions is available at MotifMap-RNA web portal. It includes MotifMap-RNA, MotifMap with new genome builds and ChIPSeq databases with querying functions similar to the Motif Search and Gene Search functions on this site (some results are unpublished). If you use MotifMap-RNA, please cite it in addition to MotifMap. Now includes access to hg38 MotifMap results under the MotifMap section (for testing only).

BBLS Code

Documented Python code for computing the Bayesian Branch Length Score is available here. The code and MotifMap data are freely available for academic use. For commercial licenses, please contact: igb-license [at] ics [.] uci [.] edu.
