In the past year, object-oriented as well as object-relational approaches have been pursued for representation of transcription factor information in TFD. At the time of this writing, there are about 6400 Sites entries in this database, which includes sites from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Alternative data structures for representing some of the underlying complexity of transcription factor interactions are also under continued development. Entries in this database resource are linked, either through hard links based on published experimental results, or through precomputed datasets, to entries in EPD, PKR, and PDB. Query systems have been improved, and additional query tools have been designed, to access the molecular relationships represented in these inter-database linking systems. Tfsitescan, an integrated platform for sequence analysis of regulatory regions for transcription factor binding sites, has been extended to access additional information regarding the relevant transcription factors and, in applicable cases, their families. ooTFD and associated resources can be accessed at http://www.ifti.org.
