Improved Algorithms for Discovery of Transcription Factor Binding Sites in DNA Sequences

Understanding the mechanisms that regulate gene expression is a major challenge in biology. One of the most important tasks in this challenge is to identify the transcription factors binding sites (TFBS) in DNA sequences. The common representation of these binding sites is called “motif” and the dis...
