Regulatory motifs are short patterns of nucleotides, usually 5-20 bp long, found common in the promoter region of set of co-expressed genes. Identification of these motifs gives insight into the regulatory mechanism of genes, as they control the expression or regulation of a group of genes involved in a similar cellular function. Motif discovery algorithms aim to discover these common patterns, which may present in either strand of the DNA double helix. Identification of DNA motifs is complex due to mutations, which make them weekly conserved patterns. This book describes two intelligent...
