What scientists around the world say about TSSHub

“TSSHub has been invaluable for our comparative promoter analysis across mammalian species. Having CAGE data and JBrowse in one place saves us hours every week.”

SU

Postdoctoral Researcher

Stanford University

“The species coverage for fungi is unmatched. We use TSSHub daily to verify TSS annotations in our yeast CAGE experiments.”

UT

Principal Investigator

University of Tokyo

“As a plant biologist, finding TSS data for non-model species was always painful. TSSHub covers 17 plant species with consistent processing — exactly what I needed for my thesis.”

MP

PhD Candidate

Max Planck Institute

“I recommend TSSHub to every lab working on transcription initiation. The downloadable BigWig files and standardized pipeline are what the field has been missing.”

MIT

Bioinformatics Core Director

MIT

“The phylogenetic tree view combined with species-level TSS data gives a unique perspective on promoter evolution that no other database offers.”
