Background: This work addresses the problem of detecting conserved transcription factor binding sites and in general regulatory regions through the analysis of sequences from homo...
Background: A major goal of molecular biology is determining the mechanisms that control the transcription of genes. Motif Enrichment Analysis (MEA) seeks to determine which DNA-b...
Background: Many vital biological processes, including transcription and splicing, require a combination of short, degenerate sequence patterns, or motifs, adjacent to defined seq...

Background: In the context of genomic association studies, for which a large number of statistical tests are performed simultaneously, the local False Discovery Rate (lFDR), which...
Background: Various statistical scores have been proposed for evaluating the significance of genes that may exhibit differential expression between two or more controlled conditio...
