From CREGS

Caenorhabditis REGulatory Sequences (CREGS) database is a community project with the aim of annotating computationally predicted and experimentally tested, regulatory sequences in nematodes, in particular C. elegans.

The vision behind CREGS is that the best knowledge lies in the minds of the experts – hard working graduate students, post-docs and PIs as well as in the collective C.elegans community. CREGS can be used not only as a data warehouse for newly discovered regulatory elements, but also for comparison of new results to existing findings or predictions, exchange and refinement of community knowledge and for de novo discovery of relationships between motifs and the complexity of regulation in promoters.

At the present time CREGS houses 76 motifs, both computational predictions as well as experimentally validated regulatory elements. To view these motifs click here or use full text search using in the search box.

CREGS is currently only partly operational. It does not yet allow user editing or enhanced search capabilities and mapping of CREGS regulatory elements to the Wormbase Genome Browser. In the next few weeks CREGS will become fully operational to enjoinment of the most collaborative, scientific community in science.
