Computational identification of cis-regulatory elements associated with groups of functionally related genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

JD Hughes, PW Estep, S Tavazoie… - Journal of molecular …, 2000 - Elsevier
AlignACE is a Gibbs sampling algorithm for identifying motifs that are over-represented in a
set of DNA sequences. When used to search upstream of apparently coregulated genes, …

Finding DNA regulatory motifs within unaligned noncoding sequences clustered by whole-genome mRNA quantitation

FP Roth, JD Hughes, PW Estep, GM Church - Nature biotechnology, 1998 - nature.com
Whole-genome mRNA quantitation can be used to identify the genes that are most responsive
to environmental or genotypic change. By searching for mutually similar DNA elements …

Compact, universal DNA microarrays to comprehensively determine transcription-factor binding site specificities

…, AA Philippakis, AM Qureshi, FS He, PW Estep III… - Nature …, 2006 - nature.com
Transcription factors (TFs) interact with specific DNA regulatory sequences to control gene
expression throughout myriad cellular processes. However, the DNA binding specificities of …
