The important role that untranslated regions of mRNAs (UTR) may play in gene regulation and expression is now widely accepted. For this reason we developed UTRDB, a specialized database of 5'- and 3'-UTR of eukaryotic mRNAs cleaned of redundancy. This paper describes the composition and the general feature of UTRDB. The analysis of UTRDB by using suitable statistical methods could provide useful information for guiding the experimental work aimed at delucidating the role of UTR sequences in ene regulation and expression.

Abstract
The important role that untranslated regions of mRNAs (UTR) may play in gene regulation and expression is now widely accepted. For this reason we developed UTRDB, a specialized database of 5'- and 3'-UTR of eukaryotic mRNAs cleaned of redundancy. This paper describes the composition and the general feature of UTRDB. The analysis of UTRDB by using suitable statistical methods could provide useful information for guiding the experimental work aimed at delucidating the role of UTR sequences in ene regulation and expression.File in questo prodotto:
