Background: Biological evolution conserves protein residues that are important for structure and function. Both protein stability and function often require a certain degree of st...
— The ability to identify protein binding sites and to detect specific amino acid residues that contribute to the specificity and affinity of protein interactions has importan...
Background: Development of high-throughput methods for measuring DNA interactions of transcription factors together with computational advances in short motif inference algorithms...
Background: Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by microarray hybridization (ChIP-chip) is used to study protein-DNA interactions and histone modifications on a genome-scale. T...
Background: The multitude of motif detection algorithms developed to date have largely focused on the detection of patterns in primary sequence. Since sequence-dependent DNA struc...
