  Background: As some previous studies suggested, regulatory elements in both promoter and gene body regions, Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) in the actinomycetes gene should be identified to understand gene regulatory mechanisms. Computational survey and in silico analysis was carried out for the actinomycetes genome which is isolated in two soda lakes of Ethiopia. Promoter regions and their regulatory elements were analyzed by using ten functional sequences. Results: TSS for each of the ten (10) functional genes of isolated actinomycetes was identified. About 92% of actinomycetes genes contained more than two TSSs and a TSS with the highest predictive score was considered to determine a promoter region of the genes. Genes having more than one TSS and TSS of the highest prediction score was selected and investigated and our result showed tha.. View More»
