Three new features added to SimpleMine
WormBase SimpleMine users can now batch-download chromosome coordinates and transcription factors within 2kb of promoter regions. When searching for interacting genes, there is a new option to exclude high-throughput interaction results.
We have also developed an instance of SimpleMine for the Alliance of Genome Resources for researchers to batch download essential gene information for worm, yeast, fly, Xenopus, zebrafish, mouse, rat, and human. Your feedback on our work is always appreciated! Please email help@wormbase.org. (Source: WormBase)
