Ab initio identification of transcription start sites (TSSs) in the Rhesus macaque genome by histone modification and RNA-Seq
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We addressed the lack of experimentally supported transcript annotations in the Rhesus macaque genome by ab initio identification of the transcription start sites (TSSs). We took advantage of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3)'s ability to mark TSSs and the recently developed ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq technology to survey the transcript structures in the macaque brain. We then integrated the two types of our newly generated data with genomic sequence features and extended a TSS prediction algorithm to ab initio predict and verify 16,833 of previously electronically annotated transcription start sites at 500 bp resolution and predicted ~10,000 new TSSs.
