Background: Many programs have been developed to identify transcription factor binding sites. However, most of them are not able to infer two-word motifs with variable spacer leng...

Background: This paper addresses the problem of recognising DNA cis-regulatory modules which are located far from genes. Experimental procedures for this are slow and costly, and ...

A central issue in molecular biology is understanding the regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression. The recent flood of genomic and postgenomic data opens the way for co...
Background: In vertebrates, a large part of gene transcriptional regulation is operated by cisregulatory modules. These modules are believed to be regulating much of the tissue-sp...
