A list of files in the GenBank database containing the ARE consensus sequence TMAnnRTGAYnnnGCR. Sequences found in cDNAs were eliminated, as were all matches outside promoter regions. Sequences with an A-T content below 60% in the 5 bp 3′ to the G·C dinucleotide were also eliminated. GSH, glutathione.
