Extracting motifs from a set of DNA sequences is important in computational biology. Occurrence probability is a common used statistics to evaluate the statistical significance of...
We study the problem of structured motif search in DNA sequences. This is a fundamental task in bioinformatics which contributes to better understanding of genome characteristics a...
Background: Many vital biological processes, including transcription and splicing, require a combination of short, degenerate sequence patterns, or motifs, adjacent to defined seq...
