Prediction scores of the IL-6 gene promoter region.

Prediction Software 1	Start Site (bp)	Termination Site (bp)	Score
Promoter Scan [19]	−402	−652	73.12
	−74	−324	74.33
Promoter 2.0 Prediction Server [21]	−900	-	1.092
Neural Network Promoter Prediction (NNPP version 2.2) [20]	−330	−380	0.87
	−339	−389	0.97
	−519	−569	0.99
	−659	−709	0.99

¹ The scores range from 0 to 100 for Promoter Scan software, and higher scores reflect a higher prediction accuracy. A score below 0.5 obtained using Promoter 2.0 Prediction Server software represents an inexact prediction; 0.5–0.8, a marginal prediction; 0.8–1.0, a moderately likely prediction; and a score above 1.0, a highly likely prediction. The range of scores is 0 to 1 for the Neural Network Promoter Prediction (NNPP version 2.2), and a higher score reflects a higher prediction accuracy.
