Promoter Search - confusion with results... (May/14/2007 )

Hi everyone,

I got this bunch of sequences and I'd like to know if they have any regions that match with promoter sequences, I'm working with maize (Zea mays). I've been using the PLACE database because I can't use tfscan in EMBOSS since the database administrator hasn't defined tfextract. The sizes vary between 2 and 7 kb. What I'd really like to know is what e value or score is reliable because i think the results i'm getting are too bad, e values higher than 1.0 and scores of 22 or so.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi there, try MatInspector
it gives you a lot of information about the sequence you put into the program.
you need to open an account but you have like 10 or 20 times free of charge per month

good luck
