The cis-regulatory elements are difficult to locate using conventional approaches as they are very small and scattered widely over genome's non-coding region. Studies have found that the regions of high density of Transcription Factor Binding Sites are highly probable of being active regulatory sequence.
We propose a method to predict potential enhancers in co-expressed genes.
