We introduce the data model BM, which specifies kernels of motifs by means of Boolean matrices. Different from position frequency matrices these only specify which bases can appea...
The Gibbs sampling method has been widely used for sequence analysis after it was successfully applied to the problem of identifying regulatory motif sequences upstream of genes. ...
Background: TATA box is one of the most important transcription factor binding sites. But the exact sequences of TATA box are still not very clear. Results: In this study, we cond...
The promise of plentiful data on common human genetic variations has given hope that we will be able to uncover genetic factors behind common diseases that have proven difficult ...
In this work we propose a parallel algorithm for the efficient extraction of binding-site consensus from genomic sequences. This algorithm, based on an existing approach, extracts...
