iModulonDB
iModulonDB is a knowledgebase of microbial transcriptional regulation derived from machine learning. It provides curated sets of iModulons - independently modulated groups of co-expressed genes identified through independent component analysis (ICA) of high-quality transcriptomic datasets - for prokaryotic organisms. The database offers interactive dashboards and analysis tools to explore transcriptional regulatory networks across multiple bacterial species, enabling researchers to understand gene regulation, discover new regulators, and analyze condition-specific cellular responses.
