Position Weight Matrix or Acyclic Probabilistic Finite Automaton: Which model to use? A decision rule inferred for the prediction of transcription factor binding sites

Abstract Prediction of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) is an example of application of Bioinformatics where DNA molecules are represented as sequences of A, C, G and T symbols. The most used model in this problem is Position Weight Matrix (PWM). Notwithstanding the advantage of being simpl...
