Help please, regulatory elements

[johnshembb]

Hi All,

I may not in the wrong place, but please help me and you will be really appreciated!

I would like to identify the potential regulatory element (predicted or experimental) from a genome region. I tried to google around, but can not find a database contains all the information. I also tried to search UCSC genome browser, but found out there are so many tracks about expression and regulation that I can not tell which one suit my aim better than the others.
Can you please suggest what kinds of tools/database you're normally to do such job?

Many thanks,

[Uwe Appelt]

try these:

1)
cisRED: Databases of genome-wide regulatory module and element predictions
http://www.cisred.org/

2)
TRANSFAC tools @ http://www.gene-regulation.com/

3) and additionally, here's an overview, pointing to various tools:
