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
