Identification of cis-regulatory elements in the mammalian genome: the cREMaG database.

<h4>Background</h4>A growing number of gene expression-profiling datasets provides a reliable source of information about gene co-expression. In silico analyses of the properties shared among the promoters of co-expressed genes facilitates the identification of transcription factors (TFs...
