  • GENE PROMOTER REGULATORY ELEMENT ANALYSIS COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND THEIR USE IN TRANSGENIC APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20100138952
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method of identifying regulatory elements includes receiving a first orthologous species sequence, receiving a word length, receiving a relative offset, and receiving at least one additional orthologous species sequences, wherein each of the orthologous species sequences is associated with a species, and each of the species is an orthologous species. The method further includes performing a pairwise comparison between each pair of orthologous species sequences, computing using a computing device, overlapping portions of the sequence overlapping the sequences of all of the orthologous species sequences within the relative offset and greater than or equal to the word length. The method further includes providing an output to a user identifying the overlapping portions of the sequence for all of the orthologous species sequences to identify candidate regulatory elements.
