HEATSTER: A Database and Web Server for Identification and Classification of Heat Stress Transcription Factors in Plants. Bioinform Biol Insights. 2019;13:1177932218821365 Authors: Berz J, Simm S, Schuster S, Scharf KD, Schleiff E, Ebersberger I Abstract Heat stress transcription factors (HSFs) regulate transcriptional response to a large number of environmental influences, such as temperature fluctuations and chemical compound applications. Plant HSFs represent a large and diverse gene family. The HSF members vary substantially both in gene expression patterns and molecular functions. HEATSTER is a web resource for mining, annotating, and analyzing members of the different classes of HSFs in plants. A web-interface allows the identification and class assignment of HSFs, intuitive searches in the database and visualization of conserved motifs, and domains to classify novel HSFs.
