What is SEdb 2.0?
Super-enhancers are a large cluster of transcriptionally active enhancers enriched in enhancer-associated chromatin characteristics. Compared to typical enhancers, super-enhancers are larger, exhibit higher transcription factor density, and are frequently associated with key lineage-specific genes that control cell state and differentiation in somatic cells.
Here, we developed a comprehensive super-enhancer database of human and mouse (SEdb 2.0, http://www.licpathway.net/sedb) that aimed to provide a large number of available resources on human and mouse super-enhancers. The database was annotated with potential functions of super-enhancers in the TF-gene regulation. The current version of SEdb documented a total of 1,717,744 SEs from 2,670 samples including 1,739 human samples and 931 mouse samples. Furthermore, SEdb provides detailed genetic and epigenetic annotation information on super-enhancers. Information includes common SNPs, motif changes, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL), risk SNPs, transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs), CRISPR/Cas9 target sites, DNase I hypersensitivity sites (DHSs), chromatin accessibility regions, methylation sites, chromatin interactions regions and TADs. For in-depth analyses of super-enhancers, SEdb will help elucidate super-enhancer-related functions and find potential biological effects.
