Hi, everyone, I'm trying to find whether the promoter region of one gene contain TATA box in the genome of C.elegans. I wrote a Perl script to search for motif "TATA[AT]A[AT]" from the DNA sequences generated by SAMTools from the genome fasta file. I'm confused that can I search TATA box in the promoter of genes on minus strand with the same motif? Or should I use the complementary motif "[AT]T[AT]TATA"? Thanks~
Thanks, I made a mistake in the reverse complementary motif.
