Promoter Prediction

Next we verify the predicted genes by searching for transcriptional start sites (TSS). The -10 and -35 boxes can then be deduced from the up-steam regions of the TSS.

  1. Do a promoter prediction for the whole Helicobacillus mobilis sequence using BPROM http://linux1.softberry.com/berry.phtml?topic=bprom&group=programs&subgroup=gfindb. NOTE: TSS are labelled LDF in the output.
  2. Use PPP (HMM based) or Neural Network Promoter Prediction for another analysis.
  3. Compare the results of both predictions and discuss differences and similar findings.
