[Regulation of eukaryotic gene transcription: description in the TRRD database]

The structure of the Transcription Regulatory Regions Database (TRRD) and the principles of considering transcription regulation of eukaryotic genes in TRRD are concerned. Formal description of the structural and functional organization of the regulatory gene regions is illustrated with examples. By now, TRRD is based on 3500 original works and contains data on transcription regulation of more than 1100 genes known to possess more than 5000 transcription factor-binding sites and about 1600 regulatory elements (promoters, enhancers, silencers). TRRD is available at http://www.bionet.nsc.ru/trrd/.
