  "Description": "RegulonDB has collected, harmonized and centralized data\nfrom hundreds of experiments for nearly two decades and is\nconsidered a point of reference for transcriptional regulation\nin Escherichia coli K12. Here, we present the regutools R\npackage to facilitate programmatic access to RegulonDB data in\ncomputational biology. regutools provides researchers with the\npossibility of writing reproducible workflows with automated\nqueries to RegulonDB. The regutools package serves as a bridge\nbetween RegulonDB data and the Bioconductor ecosystem by\nreusing the data structures and statistical methods powered by\nother Bioconductor packages. We demonstrate the integration of\nregutools with Bioconductor by analyzing transcription factor\nDNA binding sites and transcriptional regulatory networks from\nRegulonDB. We anticipate that regutools will serve as a useful\nbuilding block in our progress to further our understanding of\ngene regulatory networks.",
