| Full name: | Database of Gene Regulation in Bacteriophages |
| Description: | phiSITE is a collection of phage gene regulatory elements, genes, genomes and other related information. The data are collected mainly form scientific papers and cross-referenced with other database resources. To date it contains more than 700 reglatory elements from 32 bacteriophages form Siphoviridae, Myoviridae and Podoviridae families, with particular focus on experimentally confirmed regulatory sites. |

phiSITE: database of gene regulation in bacteriophages. [PMID: 19900969]
We have developed phiSITE, database of gene regulation in bacteriophages. To date it contains detailed information about more than 700 experimentally confirmed or predicted regulatory elements (promoters, operators, terminators and attachment sites) from 32 bacteriophages belonging to Siphoviridae, Myoviridae and Podoviridae families. The database is manually curated, the data are collected mainly form scientific papers, cross-referenced with other database resources (EMBL, UniProt, NCBI taxonomy database, NCBI Genome, ICTVdb, PubMed Central) and stored in SQL based database system. The system provides full text search for regulatory elements, graphical visualization of phage genomes and several export options. In addition, visualizations of gene regulatory networks for five phages (Bacillus phage GA-1, Enterobacteria phage lambda, Enterobacteria phage Mu, Enterobacteria phage P2 and Mycoplasma phage P1) have been defined and made available. The phiSITE is accessible at http://www.phisite.org/. |
