Several protocols have been developed to capture the 5&#39; end of transcripts via Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) or linker-ligation strategies such as Paired-End Analysis of Transcription Start Sites (PEAT), but often require large amounts of tissue. More recently, nanoCAGE was developed for sequencing on the Illumina GAIIx to overcome these difficulties.</p><p><b>RESULTS: </b>Here we present the first publicly available adaptation of nanoCAGE for sequencing on recent ultra-high throughput platforms such as Illumina HiSeq-2000, and CapFilter, a computational pipeline that greatly increases confidence in TSS identification. We report excellent gene coverage, reproducibility, and precision in transcription start site discovery for samples from Arabidopsis thaliana roots.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION: </b>nanoCAGE-XL together with CapFilter allows for genome wide identification of high confidence transcription start sites in large eukaryotic genomes.</p><p><a href="http://megraw-dev.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/nanocage">[Link to Protocol, Additional Data, and Supplementary Materials]</a></p><p><a href="http://megraw-dev.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/capfilter">[Link to CapFilter Software]</a></p>10aArabidopsis10aGenes, Plant10aGenome, Plant10aNanotechnology10aPlant Roots10aPromoter Regions, Genetic10aSequence Analysis, DNA10aSoftware10aTranscription Initiation Site1 aCumbie, Jason, S1 aIvanchenko, Maria, G1 aMegraw, Molly  uhttps://megraw.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/node/31101854nas a2200337   4500008004100000022001400041245005600055210005500111260001300166300001100179490000700190520089800197653001601095653001801111653001801129653002301147653002801170653001701198653001401215653003001229653001301259653002601272653003401298100001801332700001901350700002401369700002101393700002301414700003001437856004901467       2006                        eng d  a1355-838200aMicroRNA promoter element discovery in Arabidopsis.0 aMicroRNA promoter element discovery in Arabidopsis  c2006 Sep  a1612-90 v123 a<p>In this study we present a method of identifying Arabidopsis miRNA promoter elements using known transcription factor binding motifs. We provide a comparative analysis of the representation of these elements in miRNA promoters, protein-coding gene promoters, and random genomic sequences. We report five transcription factor (TF) binding motifs that show evidence of overrepresentation in miRNA promoter regions relative to the promoter regions of protein-coding genes. This investigation is based on the analysis of 800-nucleotide regions upstream of 63 experimentally verified Transcription Start Sites (TSS) for miRNA primary transcripts in Arabidopsis. While the TATA-box binding motif was also previously reported by Xie and colleagues, the transcription factors AtMYC2, ARF, SORLREP3, and LFY are identified for the first time as overrepresented binding motifs in miRNA promoters.</p>10aArabidopsis10aBase Sequence10aBinding Sites10aDatabases, Genetic10aFeedback, Physiological10aGenes, Plant10aMicroRNAs10aPromoter Regions, Genetic10aTATA Box10aTranscription Factors10aTranscription Initiation Site1 aMegraw, Molly1 aBaev, Vesselin1 aRusinov, Ventsislav1 aJensen, Shane, T1 aKalantidis, Kriton1 aHatzigeorgiou, Artemis, G  uhttps://megraw.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/node/331
