Hello Jittima,

We recommend going to the track description page to get some of the details 
(including links out to sources or to the tables/files in the database 
associated with the track). To view this page, click on the track's name in the 
Assembly browser.

To understand the IDs and formatting, starting on the TFBS Conserved track 
description page, click on "View table schema" to go to the Table browser. 
There are two tables associated with the track. The second table has a field 
called "factor" that is just what you state, the transcription factor name. The 
other part of the ID represents a specific binding site.

primary: tfbsConsSites
associated: tfbsConsFactors

A description of how individual binding sites relate to specific factors is 
also on the track description page, towards the end of the section "Methods" 
right before "Table Format".

For more information about the source data, follow the link under "Sources" on 
the track description page to Biobase.

Some help for obtaining data, either by flat file or through the Table browser:
