Promotor region analysis

We have a DNA sequence and we want to find potential Transcription Factor (TF) binding sites

? ?

Strategies

Use different programs to find potential TF binding sites

Compare different results and choose TF(s) in common

Relevance of TF in literature

Looking for TFs binding to Singed Gene

We searched a 3Kb region of the first intron, important for expression in epidermis
