Database for Transcription factor classifaction

Question

[Tobias]

For a new project I would like to figure out whether master regulator transcription factors (TFs) have different properties than more downstream lying TFs. If somebody could share some database with me from which I could deduce such information I would be very delighted.

Many thanks in advance!

Transcription factor classification: upstrean/downstream - there is no single answer...

What a thorough answer! Many thanks for it! I will have a look on your links.
