Promoter predictions Bioinformatic analysis of transcription regulation: a modeling approach

Coordinator: FACULTY OF BIOLOGY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE (RS)

Transcription is both the first step and a major regulatory checkpoint in gene expression. Transcription start sites are locations in genome where RNA polymerase initiates transcription, while transcription binding sites are locations where transcription factors bind to regulate transcription. Knowledge of both transcription start sites, and transcription factor binding sites, is crucial for understanding transcription. However, methods for bioinformatic detection of these sites, which are mainly based on information theory, are typically characterized by low accuracy. Major underlying proble…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €100k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2011-03-01 to 2015-02-28.
