Abstract：
:Transcription is the first step in gene expression, and it is the step at which most of the regulation of expression occurs. Although sequenced prokaryotic genomes provide a wealth of information, transcriptional regulatory networks are still poorly understood using the available genomic information, largely because accurate prediction of promoters is difficult. To improve promoter recognition performance, a novel variable-window Z-curve method is developed to extract general features of prokaryotic promoters. The features are used for further classification by the partial least squares technique. To verify the prediction performance, the proposed method is applied to predict promoter fragments of two representative prokaryotic model organisms (Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis). Depending on the feature extraction and selection power of the proposed method, the promoter prediction accuracies are improved markedly over most existing approaches: for E. coli, the accuracies are 96.05% (σ(70) promoters, coding negative samples), 90.44% (σ(70) promoters, non-coding negative samples), 92.13% (known sigma-factor promoters, coding negative samples), 92.50% (known sigma-factor promoters, non-coding negative samples), respectively; for B. subtilis, the accuracies are 95.83% (known sigma-factor promoters, coding negative samples) and 99.09% (known sigma-factor promoters, non-coding negative samples). Additionally, being a linear technique, the computational simplicity of the proposed method makes it easy to run in a matter of minutes on ordinary personal computers or even laptops. More importantly, there is no need to optimize parameters, so it is very practical for predicting other species promoters without any prior knowledge or prior information of the statistical properties of the samples.
