Welcome to ChIPBase!


ChIPBase v2.0 is an open database for studying the transcription factor binding sites and motifs, and decoding the transcriptional regulatory networks of lncRNAs, miRNAs, other ncRNAs and protein-coding genes from ChIP-seq data. Our database currently contains ~10,200 curated peak datasets derived from ChIP-seq methods in 10 species.

We develop Co-Expression tool to explore the co-expression patterns between DNA-binding proteins and a variety of genes with ~20,000 RNA-seq gene expression data. We also provide ChIP-Function tool to predict functions of diverse genes.
