| Abstract |
Sites in DNA that bind regulatory proteins can be detected computationally in various ways. Pattern discovery methods analyze collections of genes suspected to be co-regulated on the evidence, for example, of clustering of transcriptome data. Pattern searching methods use sequences with known binding sites to find other genes regulated by a given protein. Such computational methods are important strategies in the discovery and elaboration of regulatory networks and can provide the experimental biologist with a precise prediction of a binding site or identify a gene as a member of a set of co-regulated genes (a regulon). As more variations on such methods are published, however, thorough evaluation is necessary, as performance may differ depending on the conditions of use. Detailed evaluation also helps to improve and understand the behavior of the different methods and computational strategies. |
