Some statistical properties of regulatory DNA sequences, and their use in predicting regulatory regions in the Drosophila genome
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 ...

An improved map of conserved regulatory sites for Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Background: The regulatory map of a genome consists of the binding sites for proteins that determine the transcription of nearby genes. An initial regulatory map for S. cerevisiae...

Detection of subtle variations as consensus motifs
We address the problem of detecting consensus motifs, that occur with subtle variations, across multiple sequences. These are usually functional domains in DNA sequences such as t...

FITBAR: a web tool for the robust prediction of prokaryotic regulons
Background: The binding of regulatory proteins to their specific DNA targets determines the accurate expression of the neighboring genes. The in silico prediction of new binding s...

GibbsST: a Gibbs sampling method for motif discovery with enhanced resistance to local optima
Background: Computational discovery of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) is a challenging but important problem of bioinformatics. In this study, improvement of a Gibbs sa...
