Since its beginning as a data collection more than 20 years ago, the TRANSFAC project underwent an evolution to become the basis for a complex platform for the description and analysis of gene regulatory events and networks. In the following, I describe what the original concepts were, what their present status is and how they may be expected to contribute to future system biology approaches.
Keywords: TRANSFAC database, transcription regulation, gene expression analysis, pathway analysis
