CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) and RACE (Rapid Amplification of CDNA Ends) assays have been preformed in the model organism D. mel. Both of these assays are intended to identify the promoters of actively transcribed genes. The RACE assay is targeted: primers are constructed to detect a particular promoter, and if that promoter is active, each of the transcription start...
