1 What is ITFP?
  • ITFP : Integrated Transcription Factor Platform. Currently, following transcription factor module are constructed.
  • TFViewer : an online browse tool for transcription factor.
  • TFMiner : an online prediction tool for transcription factor.
  • TFSearcher : an online search tool for transcription factor.

    3 What method and material are used in ITFP to obtain TF and target pairs?
    In our work, a reverse engineering method named ARACNE was used to derive potential interaction pairs between transcription factor and downstream regulated gene from Human, Mouse and Rat gene expression profile data.

    Here, we collected gene expression profile data from Affymetrix human Genome U133 plus 2.0 Array platform, Affymetrix mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array platform, and Affymetrix rat Genome 230 2.0 Array platform respectively in GEO database.

    Finally, three gene expression profile datasets containing 302 (22 tissues), 310 (34 tissues), and 332 (39 tissues) samples were built for Human, Mouse, and Rat respectively. Here is datailed information of the three datasets: Human , Mouse , Rat .
