Human_SNP_TATAdb: a database of SNPs that statistically significantly change the affinity of the TATA-binding protein to human gene promoters: genome-wide analysis and use cases by S. V. Filonov, N. L. Podkolodnyy, O. A. Podkolodnaya, N. N. Tverdokhleb, P. M. Ponomarenko, D. A. Rasskazov, A. G. Bogomolov, M. P. Ponomarenko

“…This model served as a base for other ICG web services, SNP_TATA_Z-tester and SNP_TATA_Comparator, which make a statistical assessment of the SNP-induced change in the affinity of TBP binding to the human gene promoter and help predict changes in expression that may be associated with a genetic predisposition to diseases or phenotypic features of the organism. In this work, we integrated into a single database information about SNPs in human gene promoters obtained by automatic extraction from various heterogeneous data sources, as well as the estimates of TBP affinity for the promoter obtained using the three-step binding model and predicting their effect on gene expression for wild-type promoters and promoters with SNPs. …”
