Q. In eukaryotes, genes often form an operon with a shared promoter.

View solution

Q. Eukaryotic RNA polymerase II does not directly bind to the promoter, but relies on a dozen or more transcription factors to recognize and bind to the promoter in a specific order before its own binding around the promoter.

View solution

Q. The TATA box is often used as an indicator of the presence of a promoter.

View solution

Q. Ab initio type of algorithm predicts prokaryotic and eukaryotic promoters and regulatory elements based on characteristic sequences patterns for promoters and regulatory elements.

View solution

Q. The advantage of the ab initio method is that the sequence can be applied as such without having to obtain experimental information.

View solution

Q. Which of the following is incorrect regarding the ab initio approaches?

View solution

Q. To improve the specificity of prediction, some algorithms selectively ______ coding regions and focus on the upstream regions________ which are most likely to contain promoters. In that sense, promoter prediction and gene prediction are coupled.

View solution

Q. Operon prediction is less important in prokaryotic promoter prediction.

View solution

Q. Once an operon structure is known ______ for the presence of a promoter and regulatory elements _____ in the operon do not possess such DNA elements.

View solution

Q. Which of the following is correct regarding the method for prokaryotic operon prediction?

View solution

Q. Which of the following is incorrect regarding BPROM?

View solution

Q. In BPROM, once the operons are assigned, the program is able to predict putative promoter sequences.

Q. Which of the following is incorrect regarding the Prediction for Eukaryotes?

View solution

Q. To increase the specificity of prediction, a unique feature of eukaryotic promoter is employed, which is the presence of CpG islands.

View solution

Q. The eukaryotic transcription initiation is less dependent on transcription factors.
