Background: Microarrays are widely used for the study of gene expression; however deciding on whether observed differences in expression are significant remains a challenge. Resul...
Background: The analysis of the promoter sequence of genes with similar expression patterns is a basic tool to annotate common regulatory elements. Multiple sequence alignments ar...
Background: Transcription factors (TFs) are key regulatory proteins that enhance or repress the transcriptional rate of their target genes by binding to specific promoter regions ...
Background: Protein remote homology detection is a central problem in computational biology. Most recent methods train support vector machines to discriminate between related and ...
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...
