| Method |
The bacterial TSSs have been mainly identified through two
experimental procedures: primer extension [14], and by S1
nuclease protection mapping assays [15]. |
| Comments |
Figure 14 shows that the spacing
between the TSSs and the predicted translation start codons
mostly varies between 20 and 40 nucleotides. Very few TSSs were
shorter than 20 nucleotides, while some have a long 5' UTR
(between 100 and 290 nucleotides upstream of the translation start
codon). |
