DBD is a database of predicted transcription factors in completely sequenced genomes.
The predicted transcription factors all contain assignments to sequence specific DNA-binding domain families. The predictions are based on domain assignments from the SUPERFAMILY and Pfam hidden Markov model libraries. Benchmarks of our transcription factor predictions show they are accurate and have wide coverage on a genomic scale.
The DBD consists of predicted transcription factor repertoires for 930 completely sequenced genomes.
From this website you can:

• Browse genome-wide transcription factor repertoire predictions
• View manually curated list of sequence specific DNA binding domain families
• Search for a sequence id, domain family or submit a protein sequence
