Abstract:Abstract:Human genetic experiments are often conducted based on the orthologous genes in other mammals such as mouse and rat. The resulting conclusions of such experiments are often limited in their applicability to the human situation. This has raised a question as to why the orthologous genes with closely related or even identical coding regions behave differently in various mammals, and motivated us to study the promoter of these genes. We proposed a functional promoter similarity index (FPSI) based on the … Show more
