TFCheckpoint database update, a cross-referencing system for transcription factors from human, mouse and rat.

Prior knowledge about DNA-binding transcription factors (dbTFs), transcription co-regulators (coTFs) and general transcriptional factors (GTFs) is crucial for the study and understanding of the regulation of transcription. This is reflected by the many publications and database resources describing knowledge about TFs. We previously launched the TFCheckpoint database, an integrated resource focused on human, mouse and rat dbTFs, providing users access to a comprehensive overview of these proteins. Here, we describe TFCheckpoint 2.0 (https://www.tfcheckpoint.org/index.php), comprising 13 collections of dbTFs, coTFs and GTFs. TFCheckpoint 2.0 provides an easy and versatile cross-referencing system for users to view and download collections that may otherwise be cumbersome to find, compare and retrieve.
