MGA repository: a curated data resource for ChIP-seq and other genome annotated data.

The Mass Genome Annotation (MGA) repository is a resource designed to store published next generation sequencing data and other genome annotation data (such as gene start sites, SNPs, etc.) in a completely standardised format. Each sample has undergone local processing in order the meet the strict MGA format requirements.

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database: expansion of EPDnew and new promoter analysis tools.

We present an update of EPDNew (http://epd.vital-it.ch), a recently introduced new part of the Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) which has been described in more detail in a previous NAR Database Issue.

[Use of Eductyl(®) suppository for rectal preparation before prostate biopsy: an observational survey].

Background: Local preparation of rectum governs the possibly survenue of complications during transrectal ultrasound guided biopsies of prostate.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and acceptability of rectal preparation (Eductyl(®) suppository) in patients undergoing a transrectal prostate biopsy.

Patients And Methods: From May to August 2005, eight urologists (Bel-Air Urological Center, Bordeaux) included 137 patients (mean age 66.

EPD in its twentieth year: towards complete promoter coverage of selected model organisms.

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) is an annotated non-redundant collection of eukaryotic POL II promoters, experimentally defined by a transcription start site (TSS). Access to promoter sequences is provided by pointers to positions in the corresponding genomes. Promoter evidence comes from conventional TSS mapping experiments for individual genes, or, starting from release 73, from mass genome annotation projects.

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database EPD: the impact of in silico primer extension.

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) is an annotated non-redundant collection of eukaryotic POL II promoters, experimentally defined by a transcription start site (TSS). There may be multiple promoter entries for a single gene. The underlying experimental evidence comes from journal articles and, starting from release 73, from 5' ESTs of full-length cDNA clones used for so-called in silico primer extension.
