In this study, we seek to develop a predictive model for finding the strength of binding between a particular transcription factor (TF) variant and a particular DNA target variant...
Background: Synthetic transcription factors (STFs) promise to offer a powerful new therapeutic against Cancer, AIDS, and genetic disease. Currently, 10% of drugs are of this type,...

Background: In many approaches to the inference and modeling of regulatory interactions using microarray data, the expression of the gene coding for the transcription factor is co...
Background: This work addresses the problem of detecting conserved transcription factor binding sites and in general regulatory regions through the analysis of sequences from homo...
Background: The precision of transcriptional regulation is made possible by the specificity of physical interactions between transcription factors and their cognate binding sites ...
