Dragon Promoter Finder: recognition of vertebrate RNA polymerase II promoters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dragon Promoter Finder (DPF) locates RNA polymerase II promoters in DNA sequences of vertebrates by predicting Transcription Start Site (TSS) positions. DPF's algorithm uses sensors for three functional regions (promoters, exons and introns) and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Results on a large and diverse evaluation set indicate that DPF exhibits a superior predicting ability for TSS location compared to three other promoter-finding programs.

Computer model for recognition of functional transcription start sites in RNA polymerase II promoters of vertebrates.
This paper introduces a new computer system for recognition of functional transcription start sites (TSSs) in RNA polymerase II promoter regions of vertebrates. This system allows scanning complete vertebrate genomes for promoters with significantly reduced number of false positive predictions. It can be used in the context of gene finding through its recognition of the 5' end of genes. The imp...
متن کاملTuning the Dragon Promoter Finder System for Human Promoter Recognition
Discovery of new genes through the identification of their promoters in anonymous DNA and the study of transcriptional control make promoter and transcription start site recognition an important issue for Bioinformatics. The biological process of transcription activation is very complex and is not completely understood. Hence computer systems for promoter recognition may not perform well if we ...
متن کاملFormation of an RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex on an RNA promoter derived from the hepatitis delta virus RNA genome
Although RNA polymerases (RNAPs) are able to use RNA as template, it is unknown how they recognize RNA promoters. In this study, we used an RNA fragment derived from the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) genome as a model to investigate the recognition of RNA promoters by RNAP II. Inhibition of the transcription reaction using an antibody specific to the largest subunit of RNAP II and the direct bind...
متن کاملDragon ERE Finder version 2: a tool for accurate detection and analysis of estrogen response elements in vertebrate genomes
We present a unique program for identification of estrogen response elements (EREs) in genomic DNA and related analyses. The detection algorithm was tested on several large datasets and makes one prediction in 13 300 nt while achieving a sensitivity of 83%. Users can further investigate selected regions around the identified ERE patterns for transcription factor binding sites based on the TRANS...
متن کاملThe cloned RNA polymerase II transcription factor IID selects RNA polymerase III to transcribe the human U6 gene in vitro.
Although the human U2 and U6 snRNA genes are transcribed by different RNA polymerases (i.e., RNA polymerases II and III, respectively), their promoters are very similar in structure. Both contain a proximal sequence element (PSE) and an octamer motif-containing enhancer, and these elements are interchangeable between the two promoters. The RNA polymerase III specificity of the U6 promoter is co...
