Mammals and fish differ in their ability to express axon growth-associated genes in response to CNS injury, which contributes to the differences in their ability for CNS regeneration. Previously we demonstrated that for the axon growth-associated gene, gap43, regions of the rat promoter that are sufficient to promote reporter gene expression in the developing zebrafish nervous system are not sufficient to promote expression in regenerating retinal ganglion cells in zebrafish. Recently, we identified a 3.6-kb gap43 promoter fragment from the pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes (fugu), that can promote reporter gene expression during both development and regeneration. Using promoter deletion analysis, we have found regions of the 3.6-kb fugu gap43 promoter that are necessary for expression in regenerating, but not developing, retinal ganglion cells. Within the 3.6-kb promoter, we have identified elements that are highly conserved among fish, as well as elements conserved among fish, mammals, and birds.

View all literature mentionsTESS is a web tool for predicting transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences. It can identify binding sites using site or consensus strings and positional weight matrices from the TRANSFAC, JASPAR, IMD, and our CBIL-GibbsMat database. You can use TESS to search a few of your own sequences or for user-defined CRMs genome-wide near genes throughout genomes of interest. Search for CRMs Genome-wide: TESS now has the ability to search whole genomes for user defined CRMs. Try a search in the AnGEL CRM Searches section of the navigation bar.. You can search for combinations of consensus site sequences and/or PWMs from TRANSFAC or JASPAR. Search DNA for Binding Sites: TESS also lets you search through your own sequence for TFBS. You can include your own site or consensus strings and/or weight matrices in the search. Use the Combined Search under ''Site Searches'' in the menu or use the box for a quick search. TESS assigns a TESS job number to all sequence search jobs. The job results are stored on our server for a period of time specified in the search submit form. During this time you may recall the search results using the form on this page. TESS can also email results to you as a tab-delimited file suitable for loading into a spreadsheet program. Query for Transcription Factor Info: TESS also has data browsing and querying capabilities to help you learn about the factors that were predicted to bind to your sequence. Use the Query TRANSFAC or Query Matrices links above or use the search interface provided from the home page.
View all literature mentionsPipMaker computes alignments of similar regions in two DNA sequences. Moreover, MultiPipMaker can be requested to compute a true multiple alignment of the input sequences and return a nucleotide-level view of the results.
View all literature mentionsSoftware tool that screens DNA sequences for interspersed repeats and low complexity DNA sequences. The output of the program is a detailed annotation of the repeats that are present in the query sequence as well as a modified version of the query sequence in which all the annotated repeats have been masked (default: replaced by Ns). Currently over 56% of human genomic sequence is identified and masked by the program. Sequence comparisons in RepeatMasker are performed by one of several popular search engines including nhmmer, cross_match, ABBlast/WUBlast, RMBlast and Decypher. RepeatMasker makes use of curated libraries of repeats and currently supports Dfam ( profile HMM library ) and RepBase ( consensus sequence library ).
