FIE2 -- a program for the extraction of genomic DNA sequences around the start and translation initiation site of human genes

What you can do:
Identify and extract nucleotide sequence around the start of genes (promoter region) and their translation initiation site (TIS).
Highlights:
  • Using information provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information's (NCBI's) LocusLink, FIE2 identifies the 5'-most end of a gene on its respective chromosome based on alignment of a selected set of mRNAs representative of the gene.
  • FIE2 then uses available human genome sequence information to extract the desired sequences.
  • The accuracy of the information extracted is therefore limited by the accuracy and completeness of the sequence annotation and sequence alignment provided by LocusLink.
  • In addition, multiple TIS positions are also occasionally presented.
Keywords:
  • promoter analysis tool
