how to find promoter sequence- my blat search doesnt seem to work? - (Sep/12/2012 )

hi all, i am trying to work out how to determine the promoter sequence for rat CYP2E gene, and have followed all the steps in the post how to find the promoter, through to the blat search, however when i try to get the alignment page, it looks nothing like the example BRCA1, i dont understand why? can anyone help?! There are no lines to suggest alignment? any help would be appreciated!

There are two different sequences of rat CYP2E gene, one is from BN/NHSDMCWI strain, another from SD strain. By default, the search result of Ensembl database is BN/NHSDMCWI sequence.

The full sequence of CYP2E1 with 20000 bp 5' UTR is :

The transcibe start sequence is "GCCCCAGTGGCACCATGGCGGTTCTTGGCATCACC......"

Promoter region located ahead of that.

Here you are. The first 600 is promoter sequence, the rest is first exon

yes thats it!!! just try the ensembl!!! its the best way.
