Abstract:With rapid advances in experimental methods that map transcription start sites (TSSs) at a high resolution, there is a need to characterize the sequence diversity of TSS neighborhoods. Most current techniques scan for previously discovered elements, such as the TATA box, the INR motif, CpG islands, etc. to categorize promoters into different classes. Reliance on such elements hinders the discovery of novel elements. On the other hand, methods that use standard motif discovery to discover de novo promoter eleme… Show more
