Detecting the limits of regulatory element conservation and divergence estimation using pairwise and multiple alignments
Background: Molecular evolutionary studies of noncoding sequences rely on multiple alignments. Yet how multiple alignment accuracy varies across sequence types, tree topologies, d...

Systematic identification of yeast cell cycle transcription factors using multiple data sources
Background: Eukaryotic cell cycle is a complex process and is precisely regulated at many levels. Many genes specific to the cell cycle are regulated transcriptionally and are exp...
