We’ve updated the Regulation section of SGD gene pages. You can now see how many regulatory relationships a gene has without leaving the page, and open the full details in one click.

## **What’s new**

The Regulation section of each locus page now has a horizontal bar graph with two bars:

- **Regulators:** the number of putative genes that regulate the locus.

- **Targets:** the number of putative genes the locus regulates.

The counts are based on experimental evidence, including data generated by high-throughput techniques.

For example, the [HOG1 Regulation section](https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000004103#regulation) currently shows 83 Targets and 22 Regulators. The bars show at a glance whether a gene is mainly regulated, mainly regulates other genes, or both.

## **Explore the details**

Click the graphic or the **Regulation Details** link to open the gene’s [full Regulation page](https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000004103/regulation). It includes:

- **All regulation annotations.** The Regulators table lists putative regulators, including experiments showing that a regulator binds the gene’s promoter or affects its transcription when the regulator is mutated. Each annotation gives the experiment and assay type, conditions, strains, and a reference. Data from Northern blot, EMSA, kinase assays, microarray, RNA-seq, and ChIP assays, etc., are included.

- **A regulator/target network** showing the locus with its Regulators and Targets.

Each table has tools for working with the data:

- **Sort and filter.** Sort by any column, or filter by keyword (for example, “microarray”) to narrow the table to a specific experiment type.

- **Download.** Save the table as a .txt file.

- **Analyze.** Send a list of genes to tools such as [GO Term Finder](https://www.yeastgenome.org/goTermFinder), [GO Slim Mapper](https://www.yeastgenome.org/goSlimMapper), and [SPELL](https://spell.yeastgenome.org/) for further analysis.

## **Why it matters**

Regulation data come from many sources, so the amount of information varies widely between genes. The graphic shows how much regulatory evidence exists for a gene. The details page then lets you look at that evidence and export gene lists for downstream analysis.

This builds on SGD’s ongoing work on regulation data, including the [updated regulation curation model](https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ca2f/b9f56aa819e20e9e147127cb26cc6c08ef76.pdf) described in _DATABASE_(2018).

## **Try it out**

Go to any gene page, such as [HOG1](https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000004103#regulation), scroll to **Regulation** , and click the graphic or **Regulation Details**.
