Search E.coli genetic network using RegulonDB

A python program, RegulonDB.py, loads the RegulonDB tab delimited files into hash tables. A second python program, searchRegulonDB.py, uses these hash tables to allow users to replace items on a model with items in the RegulonDB database. The interface makes use of the getFromList API function, which also includes the search feature.

With this python function, users can:

• get RBS, terminator, or promoter sequences along with RegulonDB ID
• get the list of regulatory parts for one or more selected transcription factor
• get the list of transcription factors for one or more selected regulatory parts
