Abstract
There are no well-known properties in regulatory DNA analogous to those in coding sequences; their spatial location is not regular, the consensus regulatory elements are often degenerate and there are no understandable rules governing their evolution. This makes it difficult to recognize regulatory regions within genome. We review developments in the statistical characterization of regulatory regions and methods of their recognition in eukaryotic genomes.
