Targeting AMPK signaling in combating ovarian cancers: opportunities and challenges.

abstract：:Several discriminate functions for predicting core promoters that based on the potential cooperation between transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) are discussed. It is demonstrated that the promoter predicting accuracy is improved when the cooperation among TFBSs is taken into consideration. The core promoter reg...
