A computational technique for prediction and visualization of promoter regions in long human genomic sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This communication proposes a simple algorithm with high specificity and sensitivity for determining promoter regions in human genomic sequences. This method relies upon non-redundant and experimentally verified promoter data sets form Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) as training parameters. This technique predicts and computationally satisfies the promoter regions in the NCBI annotated database around gene sequences.

A Simple Genome Walking Strategy to Isolate Unknown Genomic Regions Using Long Primer and RAPD Primer
Background: Genome walking is a DNA-cloning methodology that is used to isolate unknown genomic regions adjacent to known sequences. However, the existing genome-walking methods have their own limitations. Objectives: Our aim was to provide a simple and efficient genome-walking technology. Material and Methods: In this paper, we dev...
متن کاملBayesian classification for promoter prediction in human DNA sequences
Many Computational methods are yet available for data retrieval and analysis of genomic sequences, but some functional sites are difficult to characterize. In this work, we examine the problem of promoter localization in human DNA sequences. Promoters are regulatory regions that governs the expression of genes, and their prediction is reputed difficult, so that this issue is still open. We pres...

Introduction: X-ray diffraction studies have revealed that guanines in a DNA stands may be arranged in quartet and form a structure called G-quadruplexs. Bioinformatics studies suggested the formation of G-quadruplex structure in human crucial genes, including Wilms tumor 1 (WT1). The aim of this study was to in silico analysis of the guanine-rich sequence in the promoter region of the WT1 gene...
متن کاملLong non-coding RNAs and their significance in human diseases
Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome and most of the genomic sequences are transcriptionally silent, but recent observations indicate significant functional elements, including non-coding protein transcripts in the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts of >200 nucleotides without protein-coding capacity that perform t...

ABSTRACT Background and objectives: Globally, about one third of the population has been infected with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and more than 400 million people have become chronically infected. Nearly, 20-25% of all carriers develop serious liver diseases such as cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). According to t...
