SURVEY AND SUMMARY |
Compilation of E.coli mRNA promoter sequences
Department of Molecular Genetics, Hebrew UniversityHadassah Medical School Jerusalem 91010, Israel
* To whom correspondence should be addressed
Received November 12, 1992. Revised March 5, 1993. Accepted March 5, 1993.
An updated compilation of 300 E.coli mRNA promoter sequences is presented. For each sequence the most recent relevant paper was checked, to verify the location of the transcriptional start position as identified experimentally. We comment on the reliability of the sequence databanks and analyze the conservation of known promoter features in the current compilation. This database is available by E-mail.
