In this 9th release, we expanded the CORE collection with 299 new profiles (105 for plants, 102 for vertebrates, 85 for urochordates, and 7 for insects), which corresponds to a 16% expansion over the previous release. We added 301 new profiles to the Unvalidated collection when no orthogonal evidence was found in the literature. All the profiles were clustered to provide familial binding profiles for each taxonomic group. Moreover, we revised the structural classification of DNA binding domains to consider plant-specific TFs. This release introduces word clouds to represent the scientific knowledge associated with each TF. We updated the genome tracks of TFBSs predicted with JASPAR profiles in 8 organisms; the human TFBS predictions can be visualized as native tracks in the UCSC Genome Browser. Finally, we provide a new tool to perform JASPAR TFBS enrichment analysis in user-provided genomic regions. All the data is accessible through the JASPAR website, its associated RESTful API, the R/Bioconductor data package, and a new Python package, pyJASPAR, that facilitates serverless access to the data.","release_number":9,"pubmed_id":"34850907","doi":"10.1093/nar/gkab1113","website":"http://jaspar.genereg.net"}
