iPromoter-2L2.0: Identifying Promoters and Their Types by Combining Smoothing Cutting Window Algorithm and Sequence-Based Features

Promoters are short regions at specific locations of DNA sequences, which are playing key roles in directing gene transcription. They can be grouped into six types (σ24,σ28,σ32,σ38,σ54,σ70). Recently, a predictor called “iPromoter-2L” was constructed to predict the promoters and their six types, which is the first approach to predict all the six types of promoters. However, its predictive quality still needs to be further improved for real-world...
