Gene Transcription Regulation Database (GTRD) is a database of transcription factor (TF) binding sites identified from ChIP-seq experiments that were systematically collected and uniformly processed using a special workflow (pipeline) for a BioUML platform (http://www.biouml.org). Raw ChIP-seq data and experiment information were collected from:

Initial ChIP-seq and DNase-seq raw data were uniformly processed using specially developed workflow (pipeline) for the BioUML platform. ChIP-seq processing pipeline included the following steps:

  • sequenced reads were aligned to the corresponding reference genome using Bowtie2;
  • peaks were identified using MACS2, SISSR, GEM and PICS peak callers;
  • peaks computed for the same TF and peak calling method, but different experiment conditions (e.g., cell line, treatment, etc.) were joined into clusters;
  • clusters for the same TF revealed by different peak calling methods were joined into metaclusters.

DNase-seq processing pipeline included the following steps:

  • sequenced reads were aligned to the corresponding reference genome using Bowtie2;
  • regions of open chromatin were identified using MACS2 and Hotspot2;
  • de novo putative protein-DNA interactions were revealed using a digital genomic footprinting tool Wellington.

[edit] Database structure

The metadata concerning GTRD is stored in MySQL tables.

Each ChIP-seq and DNase-seq experiment has a row in 'chip_experiments' or 'dnase-experiments' table, respectively, which assigns id and stores basic information about experiment. 'chip_experiments' table has the following structure:

Column Description Example value
id Unique experiment identifier EXP000489
antibody Antibody used in chromatin immunoprecipitation sc-345
specie Species latin name Homo sapiens
treatment Cell treatment or conditions IFN gamma
control_id Id of control experiment, NULL for control experiments or experiments without control EXP000490
cell_id Studied cell line ID 423
experiment_type unspecified
tf_uniprot_id Protein id in Uniprot database P42224

'dnase_experiments' table has the following structure:

Column Description Example value
id Unique experiment identifier DEXP000044
organism Species latin name Homo sapiens
treatment Cell treatment or conditions 100nM dexamethasone (CHEBI:41879) for 6 hour
cell_id Studied cell line ID 38

The links to external databases stored in 'external_refs' table:

Column Description Example values
id Experiment identifier EXP000489
external_db External database name GEO or PUBMED or ENCODE or SRA
external_db_id Identifier in external database GSM320736

GTRD uses the following object identifiers:

[edit] Web interface

[edit] Search capabilities

Search GTRD
Open ChIP-seq peaks

The ChIP-seq experiments contained in GTRD can be queried from the search box on the Start page. GTRD uses Lucene engine for indexing and quering ChIP-seq experiments that provides rich syntax for searching. The search can be performed by transcription factor(name or UniProt ID), cell line, antibody or treatment/conditions.

For example, to search for STAT transcription factors you should input 'stat*' in the search field and press 'Enter'. You also can restrict the query to a certain cell line and treatment, e.g. to HeLa cells treated with interferon, using the following query: 

 tfTitle:stat* AND cell:hela AND treatment:IFN

Similarly, it is possible to search by publication author, year or title. To search by full article title, quote it: 

 "Genome-wide profiles of STAT1 DNA association using chromatin immunoprecipitation and massively parallel sequencing."

To search by author or publication date, use "articles:" prefix. For example to search for experiments authored by Snyder in 2007: 

 articles:Snyder AND  articles:2007

The list of matching ChIP-seq experiments will appear in the 'Search result' tab. Select one of them to view detailed ChIP-seq experiment information in the information box. The information box also provides links to the experiment data: reads, alignments and peaks.

To view peaks or alignments click the link in the ChIP-seq experiment information box, the Type-track-icon.png track will be opened as table. The Type-track-icon.png track can be exported by pressing 'Export' button or opened in the genome browser by pressing 'Open as track' button in the general control panel.

[edit] Repository structure

GTRD is organized in hierarchical Repository.

GTRD repository

The GTRD/Data folder contains following items:

  • DNase experiments - DNase-seq experiments metainformation
  • alignments - ChIP-seq read alignments
  • clusters - ChIP-seq-derived meta-clusters
  • experiments - ChIP-seq experiments metainformation
  • peaks - ChIP-seq and DNase-seq peaks identified by peak callers

GTRD/Dictionaries/classification is TFClass classification tree used by GTRD to reference transcription factors. GTRD/Dictionaries/cells is a collection of cells and tissues used by GTRD
