Optimized position weight matrices in prediction of novel putative binding sites for transcription factors in the Drosophila melanogaster genome.
Position weight matrices (PWMs) have become a tool of choice for the identification of transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences. DNA-binding proteins often show degeneracy in their binding requirement and thus the overall binding specificity of many proteins is unknown and remains an acti...
