What are the main signals used for gene finding in
prokaryotic genomes? How are these signals introduced into
the search algorithms?
Answer Posted / srikanth
The main signals used are the TATA Box and the GC rich
regions present ahead of promoters in prokaryotes. Since,
the genes in prokaryotes are organised as operons so by
using comparative genomics we can find new genes.
