PolyA_DB -- A database for mammalian mRNA polyadenylation
What you can do:
Search for information regarding polyadenylation in vertebrate genes.
Highlights:
- The database provides several types of information regarding polyadenylation in mammalian species: (i) polyadenylation sites and their locations with respect to the genomic structure of genes; (ii) cis elements surrounding polyadenylation sites; (iii) comparison of polyadenylation configuration between orthologous genes; and (iv) tissue/organ information for alternative polyadenylation sites.
- Currently, polyA_DB contains 45,565 polyadenylation sites for 25,097 human and mouse genes, representing the most comprehensive polyadenylation database till date.
- 2007 update:
- PolyA_DB 2 contains poly(A) sites identified for genes in several vertebrate species, including human, mouse, rat, chicken and zebrafish, using alignments between cDNA/ESTs and genome sequences.
- Several new features have been added to the database since its last release, including syntenic genome regions for human poly(A) sites in seven other vertebrates and cis-element information adjacent to poly(A) sites.
