Comprehensive analysis of the base composition around the transcription start site in Metazoa.

BMC genomics - 1 Jun 2004

Aerts Stein, Thijs Gert, Dabrowski Michal, Moreau Yves, De Moor Bart

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The transcription start site of a metazoan gene remains poorly understood, mostly because there is no clear signal present in all genes. Now that several sequenced metazoan genomes have been annotated, we have been able to compare the base composition around the transcription start site for all annotated genes across multiple genomes. RESULTS: The most prominent feature in the base compositions is a...
