PromAn, integrated and knowledge-based promoter analysis

Please enter your personal email as a link to the results file will be provided by mail.
Important recommandations:
Promoter sequences must not be longer than 20 kb. Sequences (promoter, pattern and PFM) have to be in fasta format.
Genomic sequences
The HomoloGene database can be used to define and extract promoter sequences ("Download" link).
Reference genomic sequence Orthologous genomic sequence(s)
Example (Mouse rhodopsin)
Example (Mouse rhodopsin orthologs)
or
PromAn options
1- Transcription Start Site (TSS) location on the query promoter sequence

DBTSS v5.2.0 (2006) : EPD v87 : FirstEF : Eponine : GenScan :
2- Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBS) prediction

2.1- User-defined TFBS search
Patterns: IUPAC nucleic acid code in fasta format. Position Frequency Matrices (PFMs)
Example (TATA_Box, CCAAT_Box)
Example (TATA_Box, CCAAT_Box)

2.2- Public TRANSFAC v7.0 (2005) database
Nucleotide distribution matrices:
Cell cycle: Liver: Immune cell: Muscle:
2.3- JASPAR (2006) database
JASPAR CORE: JASPAR FAM: JASPAR phyloFACTS:
2.4- Specific TFBS matrices extracted from bibliography (2006)
Retina: Nuclear receptors:
3- Phylogenetic footprinting: promoter conservation profiling

Method to align all the promoter sequences:
PromAn results provided by mail
1- PromAn results file with the ".PromAn" extension
You can download here the PromAn results file of the rhodopsin as example.
2- PromAnGUI interactive graphical user interface
You can download here the last version of PromAnGUI. The free ActiveTcl distribution 8.4 is required for PromAnGUI. ActiveTcl 8.4.12 for windown is directly available here
3- Multiple alignment of the genomic sequences in fasta format
You can download here the multiple alignment provided by PromAn on the example of the rhodopsin.
