Seminar Description

Join us for an exclusive online Q&A session focused on our product TRANSFAC, designed to help users gain deeper insights and address any challenges they may be facing. Whether you’re looking to clarify basic information, troubleshoot issues, or deepen your understanding of TRANSFAC’s capabilities, this session is the perfect opportunity to have all your questions answered. The webinar will be led by Prof. Dr. Alexander Kel, CEO and CSO of geneXplain GmbH, who will share his expert knowledge and guide you through the details of TRANSFAC. Don’t miss this chance to enhance your experience with one of the most powerful tools for gene regulation analysis.

Some questions that will be addressed at the seminar:

  • How can I get a p-value, or similar, for the TFBS predictions in a single promoter?
  • How can I optimize my transcription factor binding site predictions?
  • How can I find common transcription factors (and upstream master regulators) for a set of differentially expressed genes?

And much more, including questions coming from the audience during the live event.
