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...

Statistial Analysis of nucleosome occupancy and histone modification data
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 ...

An integrative modular approach to systematically predict gene-phenotype associations
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...
