Evaluation of phylogenetic footprint discovery for predicting bacterial cis-regulatory elements and revealing their evolution
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The detection of conserved motifs in promoters of orthologous genes (phylogenetic footprints) has become a common strategy to predict cis-acting regulatory elements. Several software tools are routinely used to raise hypotheses about...
