Studying the functional conservation of cis-regulatory modules and their transcriptional output
Background: Cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) are distinct, genomic regions surrounding the target gene that can independently activate the promoter to drive transcription. The activa...

A computational evaluation of over-representation of regulatory motifs in the promoter regions of differentially expressed genes
Background: Observed co-expression of a group of genes is frequently attributed to co-regulation by shared transcription factors. This assumption has led to the hypothesis that pr...

Bioinformatic identification of novel putative photoreceptor specific cis-elements
Background: Cell specific gene expression is largely regulated by different combinations of transcription factors that bind cis-elements in the upstream promoter sequence. However...

GANN: Genetic algorithm neural networks for the detection of conserved combinations of features in DNA
Background: The multitude of motif detection algorithms developed to date have largely focused on the detection of patterns in primary sequence. Since sequence-dependent DNA struc...
