PlantProm -- A database of plant promoter sequences
What you can do:
Search for promoter sequences for RNA polymerase II with experimentally determined transcription start sites from various plant species.
Highlights:
- The 2002 release of this non-redundant plant promoter database contains 305 entries including 71, 220 and 14 promoters from monocot, dicot and other plants, respectively.
- It provides DNA sequence of the promoter regions (-200 : +51) with TSS on the fixed position +201, taxonomic/promoter type classification of promoters and Nucleotide Frequency Matrices (NFM) for promoter elements: TATA-box, CCAAT-box and TSS-motif (Inr).
- The database serves as learning set in developing plant promoter prediction programs. One such program (TSSP) based on discriminant analysis has been created by Softberry Inc. and the application of a support ftp: vector machine approach for promoter identification is under development.
