Title: Finding over-represented motifs and motif pairs in biological sequence data

Abstract: In gene regulation it is important to be able to describe the strength of binding between a transcription factor (TF, a protein) and a binding site (short piece of DNA). Our aim is to learn a model for this interaction based on a large dataset of short dna sequences that contain a binding...

Title: Improving Exact Search of Multiple Patterns From a Compressed Suffix Array

Abstract: Self-indexes are largely studied and widely applied structures in string matching. However, the exact matching of multiple patterns using self-indexes is a topic that has not been the subject of concentrated study although it is an area that may have direct and indirect applications and uses in...
