TTA Lynx -- TTA codon finder
What you can do:
Find information about coding sequences that contain the TTA regulatory motif.
Highlights:
- TTA Lynx is a web-based service for finding, assessing and comparing coding sequences that contain TTA codons.
- This codon is most notable for being a regulatory switch that governs different aspects of the physiology of several GC-rich, Gram-positive bacteria belonging to genus Streptomyces, prolific producers of clinically important natural products.
- The ever-increasing pace of genome sequencing is creating a huge volume of data that could be utilized to improve our understanding of rare codons in actinomycete biology.
- It is designed to facilitate analysis of TTA-containing genes and to assess the importance of TTA-mediated regulation in an organism of interest.
- This service and its database of organisms with well-known or hypothetical TTA-based regulation provides an opportunity for the identification of such regulation on a genome-wide scale.
