A Comparative Analysis of Computational Motif-Detection Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
The detection of motifs within and among families of protein sequences can provide useful information regarding the function, structure and evolution of a protein. With the increasing number of computer programs available for motif detection, a comparative evaluation of the programs from a biological perspective is warranted. This study uses a set of 20 reverse transcriptase (RT) protein sequences to test and compare the ability of 7 different computational methods to locate the ordered-series-of-motifs that are well characterized in the RT sequences. The results provide insight to biologists as to the usage, value, and reliability of the numerous methods available.

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, ...
