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...
: Most motif discovery algorithms from DNA sequences require the motif's length as input. Styczynski et al. introduced the Extended (l,d)-Motif Problem (EMP) where the motif...
Background: Protein sorting is the process that newly synthesized proteins are transported to their target locations within or outside of the cell. This process is precisely regul...
—A typical cell has a size of only 10 µm while it contains about a billion proteins. Transportation of these proteins from their synthesis sites to their target locations within...
Background: Algorithms that locate evolutionarily conserved sequences have become powerful tools for finding functional DNA elements, including transcription factor binding sites;...
