Introduction

Prokaryotic Gene Feature

  • Prokaryotic genes have a relatively well-understood promoter sequence, such as a regulatory sequence, which can regulate the transcription of the gene into an mRNA.
  • Each prokaryotic gene has open reading frames(ORF) which start with start codons and end with end codons with no interruptions(end-codons) in-between, so it can provide a good, but not assured prediction of the protein-coding regions.
