MELINA: motif extraction from promoter regions of potentially co-regulated genes
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED 'Melina' assists users to compare the results of four public softwares for DNA motif extraction in order to both confirm the reliability of each finding and avoid missing important motifs. It is also useful to optimize the sensitivity of software with a series of different parameter settings. AVAILABILITY Melina is available at http://www.hgc.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Melina/.

“Melina” - Novel Tool for Elucidation of Consensus Motif in the Promoter Regions of Functionally Related DNA Sequences
Gene expression is controlled by protein factors that interact with DNA promoter regions to affect transcription. To understand the regulation of gene expression means knowing about the transcription factors and the DNA sites at which they act. Microarray analysis of gene expression profile are considered to be the most systematic experimental approach at present, which allows to identify and a...
متن کاملMelina II: a web tool for comparisons among several predictive algorithms to find potential motifs from promoter regions
We present the second version of Melina, a web-based tool for promoter analysis. Melina II shows potential DNA motifs in promoter regions with a combination of several available programs, Consensus, MEME, Gibbs sampler, MDscan and Weeder, as well as several parameter settings. It allows running a maximum of four programs simultaneously, and comparing their results with graphical representations...
متن کاملA niched Pareto genetic algorithm for finding variable length regulatory motifs in DNA sequences
The transcription factor binding sites also called as motifs are short, recurring patterns in DNA sequences that are presumed to have a biological function. Identification of the motifs from the promoter region of the genes is an important and unsolved problem specifically in the eukaryotic genomes. In this paper, we present a niched Pareto genetic algorithm to identify the regulatory motifs. T...
متن کاملIn silico analysis of motifs in promoters of Differentially Expressed Genes in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under anoxia
The aim of this study was to characterise the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) in rice coleoptiles under anoxia by identifying motifs that are common in the promoter region of co-regulated genes. Un-changed DEGs (<2 fold and >-2), up-regulated DEGs (>or=2 fold) and down-regulated DEGs (<or=-2 fold) were separated in three different data...
متن کاملMolecular and Bioinformatics Analysis of Allelic Diversity in IGFBP2 Gene Promoter in Indigenous Makuee and Lori-Bakhtiari Sheep Breeds
The aim of this study was to perform molecular and bioinformatics analysis of IGFBP2 gene promoter in association with some economic traits in indigenous Makuee (MS) and Lori-Bakhtiari (LB) breeds. DNA was extracted from blood samples of 120 MS and 200 LB and a 297 bp fragment from the upstream sequences of studied gene was amplified and genotyped by single-strand conformational polymo...
