Regular expression pattern matching is widely used in computational biology. Searching through a database of sequences for a motif (a simple regular expression), or its variations...
Background: Many vital biological processes, including transcription and splicing, require a combination of short, degenerate sequence patterns, or motifs, adjacent to defined seq...
