## E. coli promoter gene sequences (DNA)

### Description

Promoters have a region where a protein (RNA polymerase) must make contact and the helical DNA sequence must have a valid conformation so that the two pieces of the contact region spatially align. The data contains DNA sequences of promoters and non-promoters.

### Usage

    data(promotergene)

### Format

A data frame with 106 observations and 58 variables. The first variable `Class` is a factor with levels `+` for a promoter gene and `-` for a non-promoter gene. The remaining 57 variables `V2 to V58` are factors describing the sequence. The DNA bases are coded as follows: `a` adenine `c` cytosine `g` guanine `t` thymine

### Examples

    data(promotergene)

    ## Create classification model using Gaussian Processes

    prom <- gausspr(Class~.,data=promotergene,kernel="rbfdot",kpar=list(sigma=0.02),cross=4)
    prom

    ## Create model using Support Vector Machines

    promsv <- ksvm(Class~.,data=promotergene,kernel="laplacedot",kpar="automatic",C=60,cross=4)
    promsv
