YGMD

Yeast Gene Module Database

(An enhanced version of YCRD)

A repository for yeast Cooperative Transcription Factor Sets (CoopTFSs) and their target Gene Modules (GMs)


Database Description

YGMD deposits
(i)  33,024 CoopTFSs and their target GMs validated by TFB evidence (with # of genes in GM ≥ 15)
(ii) 1,096 CoopTFSs and their target GMs validated by TFB&TFR evidence (with # of genes in GM ≥ 5)

  • The cooperativity between TFs in a CoopTFS is suggested by physical/genetic interaction evidence or/and predicted by existing algorithms.
  • The target GM regulated by a CoopTFS is defined as the common target genes of all the TFs in that CoopTFS.
  • The regulatory association between any TF in a CoopTFS and any gene in the target GM is supported by experimental evidence in the literature.

In YGMD, users can
(i) search the target GM regulated by a specific CoopTFS of interest
(ii) search all possible CoopTFSs whose target GMs contain a specific gene of interest
