Genome-scale study of the importance of binding site context for transcription factor binding and gene regulation
Background: The rate of mRNA transcription is controlled by transcription factors that bind to specific DNA motifs in promoter regions upstream of protein coding genes. Recent res...

A computational evaluation of over-representation of regulatory motifs in the promoter regions of differentially expressed genes
Background: Observed co-expression of a group of genes is frequently attributed to co-regulation by shared transcription factors. This assumption has led to the hypothesis that pr...
