Supported by the University of Otago, the Health Research Council, and the Royal Society of New Zealand, Transterm is "an interactive database providing access to RNA sequences and their associated motifs. The RNA sequences are derived from all gene sequence data in Genbank, including complete genomes, divided into putative 5' and 3' UTRs, initiation and termination regions and the full CDS sequences." The Transterm website contains an extensive help browser with information regarding: the History and Direction of Transterm; Scan-for-Matches Pattern Rules; How Short Species Names are Constructed; RSCU Tables; and much more.
