| Full name: | prokaryotes intergenic regions |
| Description: | IntergenicDB is a database wich contains sequences of DNA known as intergenic regions (or promoters) of prokaryotes beings. This database is a result of a study made by Prof. Sheila de Àvila e Silva, from the Universidade de Caxias do Sul (UCS) entitled "Redes Neurais Artificiais no Reconhecimento de Regiões Promotoras em Bactérias Gram-Negativas". This study investigates the intergenic regions using neural networks, wich are trained by a program to identificate if a given DNA sequence is or is not a promoter region. |

IntergenicDB: a database for intergenic sequences. [PMID: 25097383]
A whole genome contains not only coding regions, but also non-coding regions. These are located between the end of a given coding region and the beginning of the following coding region. For this reason, the information about gene regulation process underlies in intergenic regions. There is no easy way to obtain intergenic regions from current available databases. IntergenicDB was developed to integrate data of intergenic regions and their gene related information from NCBI databases. The main goal of INTERGENICDB is to offer friendly database for intergenic sequences of bacterial genomes. |
