Thyroid hormone response element gene transcriptions
"The arrangement of TREs within the promoter might regulate THR action by determining THR isoform binding, THR dimerization, and coregulators binding. In the classic view of how TH and its receptor stimulate gene expression, the gene promoter contains TREs consisting of a 6-bp consensus sequence (AGGTCA) organized as a direct repeat separated by 4 bp (DR4), a palindrome without spacing (PAL), or an inverted palindrome (LAP) separated by 4 to 6 bp (1013)."

# Consensus sequences
The "gene promoter contains TREs consisting of a 6-bp consensus sequence (AGGTCA) organized as a direct repeat separated by 4 bp (DR4), a palindrome without spacing (PAL), or an inverted palindrome (LAP) separated by 4 to 6 bp (1013)."

# THR samplings
Copying the consensus sequence for the  THR AGGTCA and putting the sequence in "F" finds no locations between ZNF497 and A1BG or two locations between ZSCAN22 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.
For the Basic programs testing consensus sequence AGGTCA (starting with SuccessablesTHR.bas) written to compare nucleotide sequences with the sequences on either the template strand (-), or coding strand (+), of the DNA, in the negative direction (-), or the positive direction (+), the programs are, are looking for, and found:

# THR analysis and results
The "gene promoter contains TREs consisting of a 6-bp consensus sequence (AGGTCA) organized as a direct repeat separated by 4 bp (DR4), a palindrome without spacing (PAL), or an inverted palindrome (LAP) separated by 4 to 6 bp (1013)."
Comparison:
The occurrences of real THR UTRs, cores and distals are greater than the randoms. This suggests that the real THRs are likely active or activable.
