Abstract: The effects of abscisic acid (ABA) induction on Arabidopsis
thaliana transcriptome have been investigated by various expression studies.
We have assembled and analyzed data from available expression studies related
to ABA signaling in Arabidopsis along with other available microarray
data, functional annotations and information related to occurrence of
cis-regulatory elements in promoters of Arabidopsis genes in a database
called TRABAS. TRABAS is expected to provide a simple, user-friendly platform
to facilitate the study of different aspects of ABA mediated transcription
regulation and is freely available at
http://www.bioinformatics.org/trabas/.
Keywords: ABA signaling, expression profile, cis-regulatory element, gene ontology
