->Me too!!!

There are two databases of promoter elements avaliable.  One is the
Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) and the other is the the Transcription
Factor Database (TFD).  You can get info on these by mailing the
following to the server at EMBL:

Address:  netserve@embl.bitnet

content of mail message:

DIR TFD
DIR EPD
HELP TFD
HELP EPD


The EMBL server will then mail you files on how to get and use the files.

I believe that these files can also be obtained at one of the following
FTP sites:

NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV
MENUDO.UH.EDU
IUBIO.BIO.INDIANA.EDU

Best regards,
Don Lehn
