Identifying Cis-Regulatory Sequences by Word Profile Similarity
BACKGROUND Recognizing regulatory sequences in genomes is a continuing challenge, despite a wealth of available genomic data and a growing number of experimentally validated examples. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We discuss here a simple approach to search for regulatory sequences based on the compositional similarity of genomic regions and known cis-regulatory sequences. This method, which...
متن کاملIdentifying Potential Regulatory Sequences of Alternative Splicing
Alternative splicing is an important mechanism that contributes to expanding protein diversity by generating multiple protein isoforms from a single gene. We have previously reported computational approach to infer alternative splicing patterns from Mus musculus full-length cDNA clones and microarray data [4]. Although we have predicted a large number of unreported splice variants, general mech...
متن کاملA new framework for identifying cis-regulatory motifs in prokaryotes
We present a new algorithm, BOBRO, for prediction of cis-regulatory motifs in a given set of promoter sequences. The algorithm substantially improves the prediction accuracy and extends the scope of applicability of the existing programs based on two key new ideas: (i) we developed a highly effective method for reliably assessing the possibility for each position in a given promoter to be the (...
متن کاملRapid evolution of cis-regulatory sequences via local point mutations.
Although the evolution of protein-coding sequences within genomes is well understood, the same cannot be said of the cis-regulatory regions that control transcription. Yet, changes in gene expression are likely to constitute an important component of phenotypic evolution. We simulated the evolution of new transcription factor binding sites via local point mutations. The results indicate that ne...
متن کاملEvolution of cis-regulatory sequences in Drosophila: a systematic approach
Numerous tools have been developed to align genomic sequences. However, their relative performance in specific applications remains poorly characterized. Alignments of protein-coding sequences typically have been benchmarked against "correct" alignments inferred from structural data. For noncoding sequences, where such independent validation is lacking, simulation provides an effective means to...
