Navigating the world of bacterial promoters can be complex, but with the right tools, you can unlock remarkable potential in your genetic design projects. This guide addresses a key question: does your DNA sequence contain promoter-like motifs commonly found in bacterial regulatory regions?

The model presented below is an XGBoost-based classifier, adapted from code developed by Jannis and trained on the samira1992/promoter-or-not bioinformatics dataset. It evaluates DNA sequences for promoter-like features.

Although the dataset does not specify the source organisms, the model reliably distinguishes sequences that display general promoter characteristics, enabling you to assess and refine your candidate regions with greater confidence.
