| Background |
| This page provides access to results of the systematic
curation and genome annotation of 1,365 DNase I footprints for the fruitfly
D. melanogaster reported in Bergman, Carlson and Celniker (2005)
Bioinformatics 21:1747-1749. These data have been extracted from
201 primary references and provide a non-redundant set of high quality
binding site information for 87 transcription factors and 101 target genes in one of the most important model systems.
Unlike previous work, this dataset has been generated from a single experimental
data type, represents all available developmental stages (including anterior-posterior,
mesoderm and imaginal disk patterning), and is linked explicitly to finished
genome sequence coordinates. This dataset should provide a useful resource
for computational analyses of transcription factor binding site biology
in the genus Drosophila. Note! As of October 2007, the Drosophila DNAse I footprint database has fully merged with the REDfly database to provide a one-stop portal for cis-regulatory data in Drosophila. REDfly 2.0 aims to provide a single integrated database containing extensive annotation of empirically validated cis-regulatory modules and their constituent binding sites in Drosophila that we hope will serve as a powerful resource for both computational and experimental studies of transcriptional regulation. The FlyReg website will remain as a static legacy resource, but will no loger be updated. For the most up-to-date cis-regulatory annotations and genome mappings in Drosophila, please visit at REDfly at http://redfly.ccr.buffalo.edu. |

| Download the Drosophila DNase I Footprint Database (v2.0) |
| Download GFF: A text
file in Sanger Institute's GFF
v2 format with additional target, factor, PubMed ID fields. This file
is an updated version on D. melanogaster Release 4 coordinates of Supplemental File 3 in Bergman, Carlson and Celniker (2005)
Bioinformatics 21:1747-1749. Coordinates are UCSC's "half-open zero-based" system {e.g. a (start, end] pair of (100,200] represents bases 101-200 on
the genome sequence}. The strand for genome sequence coordinates is purposefully
not reported since a binding site is a double-stranded feature. Download Sequences: A text file of sequences in FASTA format corresponding to footprinted regions on the plus strand of the D. melanogaster Release 4 genome sequence. A text file of file of sequences in FASTA format corresponding to footprinted regions extended by ±30 bp on the plus strand of the D. melanogaster Release 4 genome sequence can be found here. Download SQL: A dump of the mySQL database (and documentation) used for data entry and storage derived from the GadFly schema. NB: The GFF file (not the Sequences or mySQL dump) defines the information contained in v2.0. |

Download XML: A tar.gz text file of 201 PubMed abstracts for literature mining. An archive of the 131 primary references in .pdf format is available on request. |
