Consensus sequences

"Experiments using chromatin immunoprecipitation exonuclease (ChIP-exo) uncovered a broad CTCF-binding motif that contains a 12–15 bp consensus sequence, 5′-NCA-NNA-G(G/A)N-GGC-(G/A)(C/G)(T/C)-3′ (Nakahashi et al., 2013, Rhee and Pugh, 2011) [...]."[1]

Hashimoto samplings

Copying the consensus of the CTCF: 5'-CACCAGG-3' and putting the sequence in "⌘F" finds no locations between ZSCAN22 and A1BG and CTCF: 5'-CACCAGGAGG-3' finds no locations between ZNF497 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.

For the Basic programs SuccessablesCFbox.bas written to compare nucleotide sequences with the sequences on either the template strand (-), or coding strand (+), of the DNA, in the negative direction (-), or the positive direction (+), the programs are, are looking for, and found:

  1. negative strand, negative direction, looking for 5'-NCA-NNA-G(A/G)N-GGC-(A/G)(C/G)(C/T)-3'[1], 0.

CCCTC samplings

CCCTC-Binding factor or CTCF was initially discovered as a negative regulator of the chicken c-myc gene. This protein was found to be binding to three regularly spaced repeats of the core sequence CCCTC and thus was named CCCTC binding factor.[2]

For the Basic programs testing consensus sequence CCCTC (starting with SuccessablesCTCF.bas) written to compare nucleotide sequences with the sequences on either the template strand (-), or coding strand (+), of the DNA, in the negative direction (-), or the positive direction (+), the programs are, are looking for, and found:

  1. negative strand, negative direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
  2. positive strand, negative direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
  3. negative strand, positive direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
  4. positive strand, positive direction, looking for AAAAAAAA, 0.
  5. inverse complement, negative strand, negative direction, looking for TTTTTTTT, 0.
  6. inverse complement, positive strand, negative direction, looking for TTTTTTTT, 0.
  7. inverse complement, negative strand, positive direction, looking for TTTTTTTT, 0.
  8. inverse complement, positive strand, positive direction, looking for TTTTTTTT, 0.
