Core promoter information content correlates with optimal growth temperature

The subtle mechanisms by which protein-DNA interactions remain functional across a wide range of temperatures are largely unknown. In this work, we manually curated available information relating fully sequenced archaeal genomes with organism growth temperatures. We built a motif that represents the...
