Nuclear hormone receptors are an abundant class of ligand activated transcriptional regulators, found in varying numbers in all animals. Based on our experience of managing the official nomenclature of nuclear receptors, we have developed NUREBASE, a database containing protein and DNA sequences, reviewed protein alignments and phylogenies, taxonomy and annotations for all nuclear receptors. The reviewed NUREBASE is completed by NUREBASE_DAILY, automatically updated every 24 hours. Both databases are accessible through a World-Wide Web server, which allows simple as well as complex queries, and manipulation of alignments and phylogenies, as well as simimlarity searches against NUREBASE. All information on accessing and installing NUREBASE may be found at http://www.ens-lyon.fr/LBMC/laudet/nurebase/nurebase.html.

NUREBASE version 2 includes standardized names for coding sequences, with annotation of alternative transcripts. Expression patterns deduced from EST data are represented by standardized keywords for human; extension to other species is under progress.

NUREBASE is supported by the CNRS.
