Background: Conserved protein sequence motifs are short stretches of amino acid sequence patterns that potentially encode the function of proteins. Several sequence pattern search...
Detecting and counting the number of copies of certain subgraphs (also known as network motifs or graphlets), is motivated by applications in a variety of areas ranging from Biolo...
Background: Cell specific gene expression is largely regulated by different combinations of transcription factors that bind cis-elements in the upstream promoter sequence. However...
