Abstract: HIstome is a freely available, specialist, electronic database dedicated to display infomation about human histone variants, sites of their post-translational modifications and about various histone modifying enzymes. HIstome data is available by browsing the contents. The database covers 5 types of histones, 8 types of their post-translational modifications and 13 classes of modifying enzymes. Current version contains information for about ~50 histone proteins and ~150 histone modifying enzymes. Many data fields are hyperlinked to other databases (e.g. UnprotKB/Swiss-Prot, HGNC, OMIM, Unigene etc.). Additionally, this database also provides sequences of promoter regions (-700 TSS +300) for all gene entries. These sequences were extracted from the UCSC genome browser. Sites of post-translational modifications of histones were manually searched from PubMed listed literature. This infobase would be of use to biology researchers, especially those interested in epigenetic regulation. We welcome suggestions from the scientific community. [Information of the supplier]
