Fast and exact quantification of motif occurrences in biological sequences

Fast and exact quantification of motif occurrences in biological sequences

Abstract Background Identification of motifs and quantification of their occurrences are important for the study of genetic diseases, gene evolution, transcription sites, and other biological mechanisms. Exact formulae for estimating count distributions of motifs under Markovian assumptions have hig...
