TFClass is a classification of eukaryotic transcription factors based on the characteristics of their DNA-binding domains. It comprises four general levels (superclass, class, family, subfamily) and two levels of instantiation (genus and molecular species). Two of them (subfamily and factor species) are optional. More detailed explanations about the classification scheme and its criteria are given here..
