InfoTrac TFD: a microcomputer implementation of the Transcription Factor Database TFD with a graphical user interface

Wolfgang G. Hoeck

BioAnalytical Technology, Genentech, Inc 460 Pt. San Bruno Blvd., South San Francisco, CA 94080-4900, USA

InfoTrac TFD provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for viewing and manipulating datasets in the Transcription Factor Database, TFD. The interface was developed in Filemaker Pro 2.0 by Claris Corporation, which provides cross platform compatibility between Apple Macintosh computers running System 7.0 and higher and IBM-compatibles running Microsoft Windows 3.0 and higher. TFD ASCII-tables were formatted to fit data into several custom data tables using Add/Strip, a shareware utility and Filemaker Pro's lookup feature. The lookup feature was also put to use to allow TFD data tables to become linked within a flat-file database management system. The ‘Navigator’, consisting of several pop-up menus listing transcription factor abbreviations, facilitates the search for transcription factor entries. Data are presented on-screen in several layouts, that can be further customized by the user. InfoTrac TFD makes the transcription factor database accessible to a much wider community of scientists by making it available on two popular microcomputer platforms.
