cis-regulatory element prediction
http://edamontology.org/operation_0441
Identify, predict or analyse cis-regulatory elements in DNA sequences (TATA box, Pribnow box, SOS box, CAAT box, CCAAT box, operator etc.) or in RNA sequences (e.g. riboswitches).
Synonyms: Transcriptional regulatory element prediction (DNA-cis), Transcriptional regulatory element prediction (RNA-cis)

Cis-regulatory elements (cis-elements) regulate the expression of genes located on the same strand from which the element was transcribed. Cis-elements are found in the 5' promoter region of the gene, in an intron, or in the 3' untranslated region. Cis-elements are often binding sites of one or more trans-acting factors. They also occur in RNA sequences, e.g. a riboswitch is a region of an mRNA molecule that bind a small target molecule that regulates the gene's activity.
