High sensitivity TSS prediction: estimates of locations where TSS cannot occur.

<h4>Background</h4>Although transcription in mammalian genomes can initiate from various genomic positions (e.g., 3'UTR, coding exons, etc.), most locations on genomes are not prone to transcription initiation. It is of practical and theoretical interest to be able to estimate such...

The properties of the immediate genomic neighborhood of 98,682 accurately determined mouse and 113,814 human TSSs are used to determine features that distinguish genomic transcription initiation locations from those that are not likely to initiate transcription.
