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: 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 ...

Background: Profile HMMs (hidden Markov models) provide effective methods for modeling the conserved regions of protein families. A limitation of the resulting domain models is th...
