An intuitionistic approach to scoring DNA sequences against transcription factor binding site motifs
13 years 4 months ago
Background: Transcription factors (TFs) control transcription by binding to specific regions of DNA called transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). The identification of TFBSs ...
