Modeling the evolution of regulatory elements by simultaneous detection and alignment with phylogenetic pair HMMs.

The computational detection of regulatory elements in DNA is a difficult but important problem impacting our progress in understanding the complex nature of eukaryotic gene regulation. Attempts to utilize cross-species conservation for this task have been hampered both by evolutionary changes of fun...
