== Transcription factor databases ==
There are numerous databases cataloging information about transcription factors, but their scope and utility vary dramatically. Some may contain only information about the actual proteins, some about their binding sites, or about their target genes. Examples include the following:
* footprintDB - a metadatabase of multiple databases, including JASPAR and others
* [[JASPAR]]: database of transcription factor binding sites for eukaryotes
* PlantTFD: Plant transcription factor database<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Jin J, Tian F, Yang DC, Meng YQ, Kong L, Luo J, Gao G |date=January 2017 |title=PlantTFDB 4.0: toward a central hub for transcription factors and regulatory interactions in plants |journal=Nucleic Acids Research |volume=45 |issue=D1 |pages=D1040–D1045 |doi=10.1093/nar/gkw982 |pmc=5210657 |pmid=27924042}}</ref>
