Dear Mahmut,

The Eponine regions would be TSS predicted by the Eponine program. This 
is different from the Ensembl Perl API approach Harpreet mentioned (e.g. 
use the API to get each Ensembl mRNA and see if its predicted start 
codon is at the beginning or not). It's fair to say both approaches will 
get you predictions, but different ones, due to different methodology 
used to generate the predictions.

Best wishes,

Daniel.
