Computational Methods for Inferring Transcription Factor Binding Sites

Position weight matrices (PWMs) have become a tool of choice for the identification of transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences. PWMs are compiled from experimentally verified and aligned binding sequences. PWMs are then used to computationally discover novel putative binding sites for a...
