Algorithm for searching for immune genes. The promoters with NF-κB binding sites are checked for positions of the binding sites. Model I or model II is used to estimate the probability that a promoter fits in the group of immune promoters. The last step of the procedure is verification of NF-κB binding site conservation in the mouse or fly genome. The promoters found by this method are predictions of immune gene promoters.
