- Title
Predicting promoters targeted by TAL effectors in plant genomes: from dream to reality.
- Authors
Noël, Laurent D.; Denancé, Nicolas; Szurek, Boris
- Abstract
The authors discuss the tools and strategic approaches in predicting targets of transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors in Xanthomonas. The authors explain the use of positional weight matrix (PWM) to scan and score possible bindings sites and sequences and of incorporating a position correction parameter to tolerate repeat variable residue (RVD). The authors also cite the lack of understanding on the role of TAL in promoting susceptibility and the mechanisms in TAL-DNA interaction.
