Just a very quick question on promoter prediction software. Has anyone used any of the available tools and if so do you have any recommendations on a) the fastest b) the most accurate, and c) the best of both?
Here is a list of some I found! Are any of these scalable to whole-genome data? Are there any others not included here?
Of course if promoter prediction programs aren't the best way to retrieve these data (i.e. promoter sequences +/- first exon), then I'm open to suggestions :) I'm looking to do this for Hymenoptera (i.e. ant, bees, wasps).
Cheers,
Steve
Check out recent work by Saurabh Sinha at UIUC and maybe contact him directly. He works on predicting regulation in Fruit Fly and also Honey Bee. I think that he would have some insight on how to do it in those species.
I assume you mean human (or at least mammalian) but it would be helpful to specify.
My apologies, like I said a quick question :S I'll edit to clarify :D
For your information I'm looking at doing this for Hymenoptera and possibly Isoptera?
