Identification of DNA regulatory motifs using Bayesian variable selection.

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Understanding the mechanisms that determine gene expression regulation is an important and challenging problem. A common approach consists of identifying DNA-binding sites from a collection of co-regulated genes and their nearby non-coding DNA sequences. Here, we consider a regression model that linearly relates gene expression levels to a sequence matching score of nucleotide patterns. We use...
