Most promoters are derived from an arbitrary truncation of sequences upstream from the transcription start site of a gene, which is typically around 1,000 base pairs. Since the truncation is arbitrary, regulatory elements might be missing for transcription. Unfortunately, there exists no reasonable rationale for selecting a truncation threshold. Therefore, providing a reasonable rationale for truncation is crucial for obtaining the expected expression profiles of genes.
