Prediction of Core Promoter Regions and TF Binding Loci Across Species. ak-mer weights derived from a “bag-of-k-mers” model trained in maize (Zm) KN1 regions were used for the base-pair annotation of KN1 binding loci (blue) and control regions (red). b The same weights were used to annotated regions from rice, and to differentiate regions targeted by OSH1 (the functional orthologue of KN1) [42] (blue) from control regions (red). c A “bag-of-k-mers” model trained in maize core promoters (Zm) and tested in maize. d Model trained in maize core promoters was tested in in sorghum (Sb) for a set of randomly chosen 1000 core promoter regions and their respective controls
