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...

Some statistical properties of regulatory DNA sequences, and their use in predicting regulatory regions in the Drosophila genome
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 ...
