Motivation: Motif detection for DNA sequences has many important applications in biological studies, e.g., locating binding sites and regulatory signals, and designing genetic prob...
Background: In a previous report (La et al., Proteins, 2005), we have demonstrated that the identification of phylogenetic motifs, protein sequence fragments conserving the overal...
Background: Assessing the outcome of motif mining algorithms is an essential task, as the number of reported motifs can be very large. Significance measures play a central role in...
This paper presents a generalization of the notion of longest repeats with a block of k don’t care symbols introduced by [8] (for k fixed) to longest motifs composed of three pa...
