Examples of Regulatory Elements Contained within Maize and Rice CNS Identified Using VISTA.

(A) Graphic output for comparisons of maize and rice histone H3 genes using VISTA and parameters of at least 70% identity within a window (W) of either 10 or 25 bp. The CNS denoted “O” represents the highly conserved octamer motif. UTR, untranslated region.

(B) Nucleotide alignments of CNS identified in comparisons of the maize and rice histone H3, Sbe1, Rab28, ferritin, catalase1, and rbcS genes. The previously defined sequences of each element (based on biochemical or functional assays) are shown in boldface. Nucleotide positions are given relative to the experimentally defined transcription start site.
