Question

rVISTA uses two orthologous sequences as input and first identifies all putative regulatory motifs based on TRANSFAC matches.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

My question is based upon Prediction Algorithms in portion Promoter and Regulatory Element Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

The best I can explain: rVISTA is a cross-species comparison tool for promoter recognition. It aligns the two sequences using a local alignment strategy. The motifs that have the highest percent identity in the pairwise comparison are presented graphically as regulatory elements.
