Abstract. This paper develops an evolutionary method that learns inductively to recognize the makeup and the position of very short consensus sequences, which are a typical feature of promoters in eukaryotic genomes. This class of method can be used to discover candidate promoter sequences in primary sequence data. If further developed, it has the potential to discover genes which are regulated together.
