Discovery of novel transcription factor binding sites by statistical overrepresentation.
Understanding the complex and varied mechanisms that regulate gene expression is an important and challenging problem. A fundamental sub-problem is to identify DNA binding sites for unknown regulatory factors, given a collection of genes believed to be co-regulated. We discuss a computational method that identifies good candidates for such binding sites. Unlike local search techniques such as e...
متن کاملInferring Transcription Factor interactions using a novel HV-SVM classifier
Interactions between Transcription Factors (TFs) are necessary for deciphering the complex mechanisms of transcription regulation in eukaryotes. We proposed a novel HV-kernel based SVM classifier to classify TF-TF pairs based on their protein domains and GO annotations. Two types of pairwise kernels, namely, a horizontal kernel and a vertical kernel, were combined to evaluate the similarity bet...
متن کاملA graph-based motif detection algorithm models complex nucleotide dependencies in transcription factor binding sites
Given a set of known binding sites for a specific transcription factor, it is possible to build a model of the transcription factor binding site, usually called a motif model, and use this model to search for other sites that bind the same transcription factor. Typically, this search is performed using a position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM), also known as a position weight matrix. In this pa...
متن کاملSVM Based Prediction of Bacterial Transcription Start Sites
Identifying bacterial promoters is the key to understanding gene expression. Promoters lie in tightly constrained positions relative to the transcription start site (TSS). Knowing the TSS position, one can predict promoter positions to within a few base pairs, and vice versa. As a route to promoter identification, we formally address the problem of TSS prediction, drawing on the RegulonDB datab...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Regulatory Motif Discovery Tools for Transcription Factor Binding Sites
In the post-genomic era, identification of specific regulatory motifs or transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) in non-coding DNA sequences, which is essential to elucidate transcriptional regulatory networks, has emerged as an obstacle that frustrates many researchers. Consequently, numerous motif discovery tools and correlated databases have been applied to solving this problem. However, ...
