EFFECTS OF SEARCH PATTERN VARIATIONS IN MOTIF DISCOVERY ALGORITHM: MOTIFFINDER

摘要

In this study, a recently proposed motif discovery algorithm is implemented with improved computational efficiency. The results show that the modified implementation has made a significant time saving in comparison to the original implementation by at least 50%. Effect of search pattern variations in the algorithm are also evaluated using three different artificially generated data sets. The obtained characteristics can then be used to further improve the capability and accuracy of the protein motif discovery algorithm.
