The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) is an annotated non-redundant collection of experimentally characterised eukaryotic POL II promoters. The underlying definition of a promoter is that of a transcription initiation site. All information presented in EP ...
The PROSITE database (http://www.expasy.ch/sprot/prosite.htm l) consists of biologically significant patterns and profiles formulated in such a way that with appropriate computational tools it can help to determine to which known family of protein (if any) ...
Accurate prediction of transcription factor binding sites is needed to unravel the function and regulation of genes discovered in genome sequencing projects. To evaluate current computer prediction tools, we have begun a systematic study of the sequence-sp ...
The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) is an annotated non-redundant collection of eukaryotic POL II promoters for which the transcription start site has been determined experimentally. Access to promoter sequences is provided by pointers to positions in n ...
Theoretical considerations predict that amplification of expressed gene transcripts by reverse transcription-PCR using arbitrarily chosen primers will result in the preferential amplification of the central portion of the transcript. Systematic, high-throu ...
The low frequency of precursor cells specific for any particular antigen (Ag) makes it difficult to characterize preimmune T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires and to understand repertoire selection during an immune response. We have undertaken a combined ado ...
There has been steady progress in the computational analysis of transcription control regions, but current methods of predicting the gene regulatory features of noncoding sequences are still not accurate enough to be useful in automatic genome annotation. ...
One of the problems associated with the large-scale analysis of unannotated, low quality EST sequences is the detection of coding regions and the correction of frameshift errors that they often contain. We introduce a new type of hidden Markov model that e ...
The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) is an annotated non-redundant collection of eukaryotic POL II promoters, for which the transcription start site has been determined experimentally. Access to promoter sequences is provided by pointers to positions in ...
The development of T cell effector and memory responses against foreign antigens (Ags) involves the activation, differentiation and proliferation of naive T cells expressing distinct Ag-specific TCRs. Understanding the complexity of Ag-selected TCR reperto ...
