ChromoHub: a data hub for navigators of chromatin-mediated signalling


Genes involved in chromatin-mediated signalling constitute emerging target classes for future therapies. Here, we map on phylogenetic trees information published by the scientific community on the therapeutic relevance, the biology, the structure of these genes, and related chemical inhibitors.

The WD40 domain is one of the most abundant domains in eukaryotic genomes. We limit this phylogenetic tree to WD40 containing proteins that are known to be involved in chromatin complexes.
