P-value-based regulatory motif discovery using positional weight matrices.
To analyze gene regulatory networks, the sequence-dependent DNA/RNA binding affinities of proteins and noncoding RNAs are crucial. Often, these are deduced from sets of sequences enriched in factor binding sites. Two classes of computational approaches exist. The first describe binding motifs by sequence patterns and search the patterns with highest statistical significance for enrichment. The ...
متن کاملMotif Discovery in Tissue-Specific Regulatory Sequences Using Directed Information
Motif discovery for the identification of functional regulatory elements underlying gene expression is a challenging problem. Sequence inspection often leads to discovery of novel motifs (including transcription factor sites) with previously uncharacterized function in gene expression. Coupled with the complexity underlying tissue-specific gene expression, there are several motifs that are puta...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Shine-Dalgarno Motif: Probability Matrices and Weight Matrices
Methods for identifying biologically significant k-mers by exhaustive evaluation (k ≤ 10) are applied to the pooled Upstream Regions (USR) of all 4289 E. coli ORFs. Instances of the ShineDalgarno (SD) site are readily identified using these methods. Using these motif instances as starting points, two motif representations and training methods, probability and weight matrices, are applied to cha...
متن کاملFinding regulatory sequences in DNA: motif discovery
The purpose of motif discovery as discussed here is to find binding sites of DNA binding regulators. We assume that the binding sites are short segments of DNA, not necessarily contiguous, to which a specific (family of) transcription factors can bind. While such sites may appear in genic as well as intergenic regions, we focus here on finding binding sites only in the promoter region of each ...
متن کاملRegulatory Motif Discovery in Magnetic Bacteria
This project investigates a number of algorithms for discovering regulatory motifs in the DNA of magnetic bacteria. The most promising of these is then implemented in Java and evaluated using a combination of synthetic data and previously characterised real-world data. The implemented algorithm is also used to study three previously uncharacterised datasets; a number of new potential motifs are...
