Consensus sequence


Consensus sequence
A minimum nucleotide sequence found to be common (although not necessarily identical) in different genes and in genes from different organisms that is associated with a specific function.

Consensus sequences have been identified as necessary but not sufficient for splicing. In vertebrates, these sequences are (the slash identifies the exon-intron or intron-exon junction): ...

CONSENSUS SEQUENCE - A linear series of nucleotides, commonly with gaps and some degeneracy, that define common features of homologous sequences or recognition sites for proteins that act on or bind to nucleic acids.

Consensus sequence
A idealized nucleotide sequence that represents a sequence that serves some particular function (e.g. a promoter) at multiple places in a genome.

Consensus sequence: A ‘nominal' sequence inferred from multiple, imperfect examples. Multiple lanes of shotgun sequence can be merged to show a consensus sequence. The optimal sequence of nucleotides recognized by some factor.

In large shotgun sequencing projects DNA fragments are assembled into a consensus sequence. The basic approach is to compare each pair of fragments to find overlaps and use this information to build a consensus sequence.

The nucleotide sequence of promoters is similar but not identical. The more similar the sequence is to a consensus sequence, the more likely that RNA polymerase will attach and produce mRNA from the associated genes.

programs that try to predict genes look for what we call "splicing sites," the sites that are used to splice one exon onto another exon in an RNA. We've got a little information about the nature of splicing sites. There [are] some consensus sequences, ...

Promoter strength is in many (but not all) cases, a matter of how tightly RNA polymerase and its associated accessory proteins bind to their respective DNA sequences. The more similar the sequences are to a consensus sequence, ...
