Accelerating Weeder: A DNA Motif Search Tool Using the Micron Automata Processor and FPGA
Motif searching, i.e., identifying meaningful patterns from biological data, has been studied extensively due to its importance in the biomedical sciences. In this work, we seek to improve the performance of Weeder, a widely-used tool for automatic de novo motif searching. Weeder consists of several functions, among which we find that the function namely oligo_scan, which handles the pattern ma...
متن کاملSearching for splicing motifs.
Intron removal during pre-mRNA splicing in higher eukaryotes requires the accurate identification of the two splice sites at the ends of the exons, or exon definition. The sequences constituting the splice sites provide insufficient information to distinguish true splice sites from the greater number of false splice sites that populate transcripts. Additional information used for exon recogniti...
متن کاملPMS: A Panoptic Motif Search Tool
BACKGROUND Identification of DNA/Protein motifs is a crucial problem for biologists. Computational techniques could be of great help in this identification. In this direction, many computational models for motifs have been proposed in the literature. METHODS One such important model is the (l,d) motif model. In this paper we describe a motif search web tool that predominantly employs this mot...
متن کاملSTOP: searching for transcription factor motifs using gene expression
MOTIVATION Existing computational methods that identify transcription factor (TF) binding sites on a gene's promoter are plagued by significant inaccuracies. Binding of a TF to a particular sequence is assessed by comparing its similarity score, obtained from the TF's known position weight matrix (PWM), to a threshold. If the similarity score is above the threshold, the sequence is considered a...
متن کاملParallel Motif Search using ParSeq
Modern methods in molecular biology produce a tremendous amount of data. As a consequence, efficient methods have to be developed to retrieve and analyze these data. In this article, a parallel algorithm searching motifs based on ParSeq, a software tool for motif search, is put forward and its performance analyzed and discussed. Many experiments show that with this parallel algorithm a consider...
