    abstract = {We present the YEASTRACT (Yeast Search for Transcriptional Regulators And Consensus Tracking; www.yeastract.com) database. This database is a repository of more than 9000 regulatory associations between genes and transcription factors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, based on more than 900 bibliographic references. It also includes the description of 242 specific DNA binding sites for 102 characterized transcription factors. Further information about each yeast gene included in the database was extracted from a number of different sources, and combined in order to make available a number of queries related with regulatory processes in Yeast. All the information in YEASTRACT will be updated regularly to match the latest data from SGD, GO consortium and recent literature on yeast regulatory networks. Future releases of the database will include additional computational tools to support researchers in the process of identification of transcription regulatory associations.}
