The interpretation of the complex molecular descriptions generated by high-throughput gene expression technologies is still challenging. The development of new tools to identify common regulatory mechanisms involved in the control of the expression of a set of co-expressed genes, might enhance our capacity to extract functional information from genomic data sets. Here we present FactorY, a website that allows identification of enriched transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) in the proximal promoter of a cluster of genes, as well as functional interpretation, and intuitive visualization of the results.
