Bioinformatics Workshop Series 2011-2012
Eukaryotic Promoter Prediction Workshop
In this workshop we will cover the basics of computational promoter prediction, including:
a definition of promoters and promoter elements
a description of the problem from a computational point of view
methods and tools available
Time permitting working on groups of genes will also be discussed
Among the tools to be demonstrated are the UCSC Genome Browser for definition of upstream regions, and the promoter related tracks, and the Genomatix Genome Analyzer for binding site analysis.
