Cis-regulatory module detection using constraint programming
We propose a method for finding CRMs in a set of co-regulated genes. Each CRM consists of a set of binding sites of transcription factors. We wish to find CRMs involving the same t...

PReMod: a database of genome-wide mammalian cis-regulatory module predictions
We describe PReMod, a new database of genomewide cis-regulatory module (CRM) predictions for both the human and the mouse genomes. The prediction algorithm, described previously i...

DNA Motif Representation with Nucleotide Dependency
The problem of discovering novel motifs of binding sites is important to the understanding of gene regulatory networks. Motifs are generally represented by matrices (PWM or PSSM) o...

Local comparison of protein structures highlights cases of convergent evolution in analogous functional sites
Background: We performed an exhaustive search for local structural similarities in an ensemble of non-redundant protein functional sites. With the purpose of finding new examples ...

A robust and efficient algorithm for the shape description of protein structures and its application in predicting ligand bindin
Background: An accurate description of protein shape derived from protein structure is necessary to establish an understanding of protein-ligand interactions, which in turn will l...
