Introduction

The switches.ELM resource, hosted by the ELM consortium at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), consists of a database that curates experimentally validated motif-based molecular switches and a prediction tool to identify possible switching mechanisms that might regulate a user-submitted motif of interest. This tool helps to extend knowledge and direct research on how motifs mediate cooperative decision-making in a context-dependent manner and direct reliable and robust cell regulation.
