phiSITE database is a free database service provided by the Institute of Molecular Biology, Slovak Academy of Sciences. phiSITE is a collection of phage gene regulatory elements, genes, genomes and other related information. The data are collected mainly form scientific papers and cross-referenced with other database resources. To date it contains more than 700 reglatory elements from 32 bacteriophages form Siphoviridae, Myoviridae and Podoviridae families, with particular focus on experimentally confirmed regulatory sites. phiSITE database is permanently updated and new releases are published several times a year

You can explore the data either by searching the database using given keyword(s) (Search) or by browsing phage genomes via phiGENOME. You can also browse and export set of regulatory sequences in several output formats (Browse) and use our PSSM-convert, Free Energy and Promoter Hunter tools (Tools). For more instructions see our Help section.

This project was supported by APVV (Slovak Research and Development Agency) grant APVT-51-025004 and the VEGA (Scientific Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic and of Slovak Academy of Sciences) grant 2/0100/09.
