Description

These tracks represent the experimentally validated promoters generated by EPD for H. sapiens.

Display Conventions and Configuration

Each element in these tracks is a representation of the promoter sequence presented in the EPD viewer page (here an example). Following this convention, the narrow part of the elements represents the 50 bp upstream of the annotated transcription start site (TSS) while the thick part represents the 11 bp downstream of the TSS. The relative position of the thick and thin parts define the orientation of the promoter.

Methods

For a description of the methodology and principles used by EPD to predict TSSs, refer to Dreos et al. (2013) in the References section below.
