The sigma (σ) factor of RNA holoenzymes is essential for identifying and binding to promoter regions during gene transcription in prokaryotes. σ54 promoters carried out various ancillary methods and environmentally responsive procedures; therefore, it is crucial to accurately identify σ54 promoter sequences to comprehend the underlying process of gene regulation. Herein, we come up with a convolutional neural network (CNN) based prediction tool named "iProm-Sigma54" for the prediction of σ54 promoters.

The increased interest in phages as antibacterial agents has resulted in a rise in the number of sequenced phage genomes, necessitating the development of user-friendly bioinformatics tools for genome annotation. A promoter is a DNA sequence that is used in the annotation of phage genomes. In this study we proposed a two layer model called "iProm-phage" for the prediction and classification of phage promoters.

A promoter is a short DNA sequence near the start codon, responsible for initiating the transcription of a specific gene in the genome. The accurate recognition of promoters is important for achieving a better understanding of transcriptional regulation. Because of their importance in the process of biological transcriptional regulation, there is an urgent need to develop in silico tools to identify promoters and their types in a timely and accurate manner.

A promoter is a small region within the DNA structure that has an important role in initiating transcription of a specific gene in the genome. Different types of promoters are recognized by their different functions. Due to the importance of promoter functions, computational tools for the prediction and classification of a promoter are highly desired.
