Explanation

Phylogenetic Footprinting–Based Method The identification of conserved noncoding DNA elements that serve crucial functional roles is referred to as phylogenetic footprinting; the elements are called phylogenetic footprints. This type of method can apply to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequences. ConSite is a web server that finds putative promoter elements by comparing two orthologous sequences. PromH(W) is a web-based program that predicts regulatory sites by pair- wise sequence comparison.
