| Full name: | Histone Antibody Specificity Database |
| Description: | An interactive Java-based web resource which display histone antibody specificity data from peptide microarray experiments.Users can query the database by search bar or by histone and sequence context for antibody data specified by PTM of interest, histone, residue, company, or product number. All datasets for a particular PTM of interest are presented together to allow users to make direct comparisons. |

An Interactive Database for the Assessment of Histone Antibody Specificity. [PMID: 26212453]
Access to high-quality antibodies is a necessity for the study of histones and their posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Here we debut the Histone Antibody Specificity Database (http://www.histoneantibodies.com), an online and expanding resource cataloging the behavior of widely used, commercially available histone antibodies by peptide microarray. This interactive web portal provides a critical resource to the biological research community that routinely uses these antibodies as detection reagents for a wide range of applications. |
