Figure 1

Comparison of the motif distribution curves for the TCAG and TATA motifs in Drosophila promoters. Previously examined motifs, TCAG and TATA [20], were mapped in a hand edited dataset constructed by Ohler et al. [21] containing 1941 promoter sequences and an automatically assembled dataset of 7954 sequences derived from NCBI [59]. Relative number of motifs per site (in percent) was mapped to their respective position. Datasets spanning -250 bp to +50 bp were rooted with the position of the transcription start site (TSS) indicated as a grey bar. The absolute number of aligned sequences contributing to the maximum raw value of the peaks is given above the curves [see Additional File 7].
