tred

is a Data Source.

TRED (Transcriptional Regulatory Element Database) was a curated database of cis-regulatory elements, with an emphasis on transcription factor (TF) binding sites, TF-promoter regulatory interactions, and promoter annotations for human, mouse, and rat genes. It combined computational promoter prediction with literature-based manual curation of regulatory interactions, and was originally developed and hosted at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. TRED served as an upstream primary source for downstream regulatory network resources such as DoRothEA. The resource is now legacy and effectively superseded; its original hosting sites are no longer serving content, and it was dropped from some downstream tools due to licensing constraints.

Transcriptional Regulatory Element Database (TRED)

Overview

TRED was a curated database of transcriptional regulatory elements focused on transcription factor (TF) binding sites, TF-promoter regulatory interactions, and promoter annotations for human, mouse, and rat. It paired computational promoter prediction with literature-based manual curation, and was originally developed at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

Status

TRED is legacy and effectively superseded. Its historical hosting URLs (rulai.cshl.edu/TRED and a cb.utdallas.edu/TRED mirror) no longer serve the database, and the resource was removed from some downstream tools owing to licensing constraints. It is recorded here primarily for provenance, as an upstream primary source for resources such as DoRothEA.
