Welcome to the cisTarget resources website!

To download a database for motif enrichment, go to databases.
To download a motif annotations, go to motif2tf.
To download our cluster-buster implementation, go to programs.
To download precomputed regions for creating gene-based databases, go to regions.
To download the lists of transcription factors (TFs) for human, mouse and fly, go to tf_lists.
To download chip-seq tracks annotations, go to track2tf.

We recommend using the most recent databases and annotations (v10nr_clust).

IMPORTANT: The cisTarget database files are quite big (most of them 1-100GB). To avoid corrupt or incomplete downloads, files can be downloaded with zsync_curl (which is basically rsync over HTTP(S)). It allows resuming already partially downloaded databases and only will download missing or redownload corrupted chunks.

# Download (with wget or curl):
wget https://resources.aertslab.org/cistarget/zsync_curl
# curl -O https://resources.aertslab.org/cistarget/zsync_curl

# Make executable:
chmod a+x zsync_curl

# Display full path to zsync_curl.
ZSYNC_CURL="${PWD}/zsync_curl"
echo "${ZSYNC_CURL}"
	
# Compile zsync_curl from source
# Display path to zsync_curl:
ZSYNC_CURL='zsync_curl'
echo "${ZSYNC_CURL}"
