    RNA Pol II ChIP-chip data on a tiling array surrounding all known microRNA genes are analyzed to identify the characteristics of microRNA promoters. After comparing various SVM-based strategies, we used the best-performing SVM model to predict microRNA Pol II promoters from the ChIP-chip data. We found evidence that microRNA transcripts can be very long (up to 40 kb long) and that as many as 26% of the intragenic miRNAs may be transcribed from their own unique promoters.

    Aiming to the development of a strategy for aligning DNA profiles (PSSM models) anumber of column-to-column comparison methods are tested in conjunction with local and global alignment strategies and distance tree building methods. The best performing method is selected to build a new improved set of familial binding profiles (FBPs). FBPs can be used as prior information in motif search algorithms and for identifying the transcription factor that binds to a newly discovered DNA motif (or -at least- the structural family the transcription factor belongs to).

    FOOTER is a phylogenetic footprinting method for discovery of evolutionary conserved cis-regulatory elements.

    This is an accompanying paper for the publication of the Drosophila genome that tries to identify sequence features that might explain the bulbous structure that has been observed at the tip of the X chromosome in the region of the broad complex.

(2000) 263:90-95. Abstract (PubMed) and pdf (publisher).    PMID: 10732677
    In this paper, we show that the insect alcohol dehydrogenase, a gene very different from its non-insect enzymes, can functionally substitute the yeast proteins. This method can be used to clone effectively the alcohol dehydrogenase genes from any insect. Alcohol dehydrogenase genes are useful transformation markers, but they evlve very fast in insects, thus their cloning is problematic.
