Locomotif: from graphical motif description to RNA motif search
MOTIVATION AND RESULTS Motivated by the recent rise of interest in small regulatory RNAs, we present Locomotif--a new approach for locating RNA motifs that goes beyond the previous ones in three ways: (1) motif search is based on efficient dynamic programming algorithms, incorporating the established thermodynamic model of RNA secondary structure formation. (2) motifs are described graphically,...
متن کاملFinite populations induce metastability in evolutionary search
We introduce an analytical model that predicts the dynamics of a simple evolutionary algorithm in terms of the flow in the space of fitness distributions. In the limit of infinite populations the dynamics is derived in closed form. We show how finite populations induce periods of stasis “fitness epochs” and rapid jumps “innovations”. The analysis identifies the epochs with the flow’s metastable...
متن کاملTowards Motif Detection in Networks: Frequency Concepts and Flexible Search
Network motifs, patterns of local interconnections with potential functional properties, are important for the analysis of biological networks. To analyse motifs in networks the first step is finding patterns of interest. This paper presents 1) three different concepts for the determination of pattern frequency and 2) a flexible algorithm to compute these frequencies. The different concepts of ...
متن کامل: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type
abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...
15 صفحه اولRNA Motif Search Using the Structure to String (STR2) Method
We present a novel approach for detecting RNA shapes in given selected genes. Aside of the traditional sequencebased search methods such as BLAST and FASTA, there is a growing interest in detecting specific RNA secondary structure domains by using effective structure-based search methods such as the RNAMotif. Towards this end, we devise a new algorithm with ideas taken from computational geomet...
