X Abstract

The compilation of multiple metazoan genome sequences and the deluge of large-scale expression data have combined to motivate the maturation of bioinformatics methods for the analysis of sequences that regulate gene transcription. Historically, these bioinformatics methods have been plagued by poor predictive specificity, but new bioinformatics algorithms that accelerate the identification of regulatory regions are drawing disgruntled users back to their keyboards. However, these new approaches and software are not without problems. Here, we introduce the purpose and mechanisms of the leading algorithms, with a particular emphasis on metazoan sequence analysis. We identify key issues that users should take into consideration in interpreting the results and provide an online training example to help researchers who wish to test online tools before taking an independent foray into the bioinformatics of transcription regulation.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
