All promoters  or Representative set of not closely related sequences  
Sequence download is limited to segments smaller than 16kb in the range between -9999 and 10000 bp relative to the transcription start site. You may select several of the taxonomic subsets proposed below. The sequence retrieval operation will be applied to the union of the selected subsets. Checking the box "Representative sets of not closely related sequences" causes extraction of a subset of promoters not sharing more than 50% sequence identity among each other. This is useful for statistical analyses where one wants to avoid bias by families of similar sequences. If an EMBL sequence entry does not cover the entire sequence range specified below, the returned sequence will be padded with n's at the beginning or at the end. This ensures that all extracted sequences will have the same length, with the transcription initiation sites being located at the same internal positions.
For download of the complete set of promoters, please use the ftp site.(files in FASTA format: [epd**.seq] or in EMBL format: [epd**.blk])
