A co-evolutionary framework for regulatory motif discovery
Abstract— In previous work, we have shown how an evolutionary algorithm with a clustered population can be used to concurrently discover multiple regulatory motifs present within...

Large-scale Discovery of Regulatory Motifs Involved in Alternative Splicing
Alternative splicing is a highly important process in many eukaryotic organisms, but surprisingly little is known about its regulation. Often, this process involves cis-regulatory ...
