CisTrack Internal Wiki
Project Background:
This project aims to reveal the dynamics of transcriptional networks in physiological, developmental and evolutionary time scales. The starting project is the study of the segmentation process in Drosophila. A bioinformatics system, called CisTrack, shall be developed to support the initial efforts. CisTrack shall be expandable and applicable to other networks and other organisms in the future.

Project History
- Jan. 12, 2007. First meeting with Kevin White discussing the basic needs of cis-regulatory element studies. Cistrack started after the meeting.
- Feb. 15, 2007. Initial version of Antibody design requirements document released. Database designed. Initial codes on antibody design started development.
- Nov. 9, 2007. Version 2.1 of Functional Requirements of Cistrack released with a pretty stable overview of the entire project. Database further designed. Most codes in primitive state.
- Mar. 31, 2008. Data uploading and post-uploading proicessing designed and implemented.
- Aug. 2008. Flynet developed as an application of Cistrack.
- Nov. 17, 2008. Initial version of CUBios (dbrowser) released at SourceForge.
- Jan. 2009. Cistrack website officially launched. Cistrack funded by NIH.
- Jul. 16, 2009. Regulatory distance paper published at Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (BBRC).
- Aug. 5, 2009. Flynet paper published at Bioinformatics.
- Nov. 9, 2009. CUBios v2 released at SourceForge.
