Figure 1. Yeast promoters have a biased distribution of poly-As and poly-Ts.

Figure 1

The observed and expected frequency of poly-A and poly-T (AAAAA/TTTTT) elements across yeast promoters is shown, with expected calculated given the base content of the region. A greater number of poly-Ts and poly-As occur than expected in the −115:−75 and −75:−35 regions, respectively (p<10−6 by simulation; see methods).
