Efficient and accurate P-value computation for Position Weight Matrices

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Position Weight Matrices (PWMs) are probabilistic representations of signals in sequences. They are widely used to model approximate patterns in DNA or in protein sequences. The usage of PWMs needs as a prerequisite to knowing the st...
