Distinct core promoter codes drive transcription initiation at key developmental transitions in a marine chordate.

“369/502 (73.5%) of genes that are specifically expressed in the testis are associated with a TCTAGA promoter element, compared to 100/906 (11.0%) that are specific to the ovary and 7/275 (2.5%) that are specific to the trunk.” “Strong association of gene body DNA methylation with TATA-dependent promoters in O. dioica.” “Maternal promoters in O. dioica were located on the X-chromosome more frequently than expected.”
