Estimating Motifs Under Order Restrictions (2005)

Van Zwet, Erik W, Kechris, Katherina J, Bickel, Peter J, Eisen , Michael B.

Transcription factors and many other DNA-binding proteins recognize more than one specific sequence. Among sequences recognized by a given DNA-binding protein, different positions exhibit varying...

Detecting DNA regulatory motifs by incorporating positional trends in information content (2004)

Kechris, Katherina J, Van Zwet, Erik, Bickel, Peter J, Eisen, Michael B

Abstract On the basis of the observation that conserved positions in transcription factor binding sites are often clustered together, we propose a simple extension to the model-based motif discovery...

Finding important sites in protein sequences

Bickel, Peter J., Kechris, Katherina J., Spector, Philip C., Wedemayer, Gary J., Glazer, Alexander N.

By using sequence information from an aligned protein family, a procedure is exhibited for finding sites that may be functionally or structurally critical to the protein. Features based on sequence...

Quantitative exploration of the occurrence of lateral gene transfer by using nitrogen fixation genes as a case study

Kechris, Katherina J., Lin, Jason C., Bickel, Peter J., Glazer, Alexander N.

Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is now accepted as an important factor in the evolution of prokaryotes. Establishment of the occurrence of LGT is typically attempted by a variety of methods that includes...
