Machine Learning Analysis of the Human Initiator Region Reveals Key Features of Different Types of Core Promoters

2025-11-24

Abstract excerpt

The initiator (Inr) is the starting point for the transcription of many genes. Here, we generated highly predictive machine learning models of the human Inr region, and determined that the Inr is present in about 60% of natural promoters, identified a novel TATA-specific Inr, and detected the overlapping but functionally distinct TCT motif. Quantitative genome-wide analyses revealed a strict and synergistic intera...
