MAPPER: a search engine for the computational identification of putative transcription factor binding sites in multiple genomes
Background: Cis-regulatory modules are combinations of regulatory elements occurring in close proximity to each other that control the spatial and temporal expression of genes. Th...

Identification of tissue-specific cis-regulatory modules based on interactions between transcription factors
Background: Evolutionary conservation has been used successfully to help identify cis-acting DNA regions that are important in regulating tissue-specific gene expression. Motivate...

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...
