  • Abstract
    Recognizing bacterial promoters is an important step towards understanding gene regulation. In this paper, we address the problem of predicting the location of promoters and their transcription start sites (TSSs) in Escherichia coli. Our approaches to TSS prediction are based upon fixed and none fixed TSS algorithms. Introduced improvements significantly bumped up the efficiency of the algorithms.
