Background: Identifying cis-regulatory elements is crucial to understanding gene expression, which highlights the importance of the computational detection of overrepresented tran...
Background: Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are short and error-prone DNA sequences generated from the 5' and 3' ends of randomly selected cDNA clones. They provide an im...

In previous work [10], we considered algorithms related to the statistics of matches with words and regular expressions in texts generated by Bernoulli or Markov sources. In this w...
Background: The design of oligonucleotides and PCR primers for studying large genomes is complicated by the redundancy of sequences. The eukaryotic genomes are particularly diffic...
