ENdb 2.0 is an updated manually curated database of experimentally supported enhancers, expanding literature coverage through 2026 and adding 4831 enhancer evidence records across five species.
- Why it matters: Enhancer candidates from genome-wide mapping are abundant, but experimentally supported enhancer details are scattered across studies and experimental systems, limiting reuse and cross-condition analysis.
- What they did: The team curated ENdb 2.0 with 4831 enhancer evidence records, including 2793 enhancer–TF–target gene records spanning 496 TFs and 1070 target genes, plus enriched annotations for conditions, tissues, and diseases.
- The result: ENdb 2.0 links enhancer regions to regulatory factors, target genes, and supporting experiments across physiological and disease states, enabling biological search, genome browsing, pathway enrichment, and structured downloads.
