Computing DNA duplex instability profiles efficiently with a two-state model: trends of promoters and binding sites
Background: DNA instability profiles have been used recently for predicting the transcriptional start site and the location of core promoters, and to gain insight into promoter ac...

Finding regulatory elements and regulatory motifs: a general probabilistic framework
Over the last two decades a large number of algorithms has been developed for regulatory motif finding. Here we show how many of these algorithms, especially those that model bind...
