TRES: comparative promoter sequence analysis.

摘要

Comparative promoter analysis is a promising strategy for elucidation of common regulatory modules conserved in evolutionarily related sequences or in genes showing common expression profiles. To facilitate such analysis, we have developed a software tool that detects conserved transcription factor binding sites, cis-elements, palindromes and k-tuples simultaneously in a set of sequences, and thus helps to identify putative motifs for designing further experiments.
