Finding Gapped Motifs by a Novel Evolutionary Algorithm
Background: Identifying approximately repeated patterns, or motifs, in DNA sequences from a set of co-regulated genes is an important step towards deciphering the complex gene reg...

Finding regulatory elements and regulatory motifs: a general probabilistic framework
Over the last two decades a large number of algorithms has been developed for regulatory motif finding. Here we show how many of these algorithms, especially those that model bind...

Phylogenetic Motif Detection by Expectation-Maximization on Evolutionary Mixtures
ct The preferential conservation of transcription factor binding sites implies that non-coding sequence data from related species will prove a powerful asset to motif discovery. We...

Cis-motifs upstream of the transcription and translation initiation sites are effectively revealed by their positional disequili
Background: The discovery of cis-regulatory motifs still remains a challenging task even though the number of sequenced genomes is constantly growing. Computational analyses using...

Scanning sequences after Gibbs sampling to find multiple occurrences of functional elements
Background: Many DNA regulatory elements occur as multiple instances within a target promoter. Gibbs sampling programs for finding DNA regulatory elements de novo can be prohibiti...
