Disjoint motif discovery in biological network using pattern join method

Biological sequence motif discovery using motif-x.

The Web-based motif-x program provides a simple interface to extract statistically significant motifs from large data sets, such as MS/MS post-translational modification data and groups of proteins that share a common biological function. Users upload data files and download results using common Web browsers on essentially any Web-compatible computer. Once submitted, data analyses are performed...

Development of an Efficient Hybrid Method for Motif Discovery in DNA Sequences

This work presents a hybrid method for motif discovery in DNA sequences. The proposed method called SPSO-Lk, borrows the concept of Chebyshev polynomials and uses the stochastic local search to improve the performance of the basic PSO algorithm as a motif finder. The Chebyshev polynomial concept encourages us to use a linear combination of previously discovered velocities beyond that proposed b...

BayesMD: Flexible Biological Modeling for Motif Discovery

We present BayesMD, a Bayesian Motif Discovery model with several new features. Three different types of biological a priori knowledge are built into the framework in a modular fashion. A mixture of Dirichlets is used as prior over nucleotide probabilities in binding sites. It is trained on transcription factor (TF) databases in order to extract the typical properties of TF binding sites. In a ...
