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

Abstract-- In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNAs wrap around beadlike molecules, called nucleosomes, so as to pack more compactly in the nucleus of the cell. The nucleosome is made up ...
Background: Complex human diseases are often caused by multiple mutations, each of which contributes only a minor effect to the disease phenotype. To study the basis for these com...

Background: Computational discovery of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) is a challenging but important problem of bioinformatics. In this study, improvement of a Gibbs sa...
Identification of Transcription Factor Binding Site (TFBS) motifs in multiple DNA upstream sequences is important in understanding the mechanism of gene regulation. This identific...
