    • Discovery of approximate composite motifs in biological sequences 

      Valebjørg, Vetle Søraas (Master thesis, 2006)
      Mapping the regulatory system in living organisms is a great challenge, and many methods have been created during the last 15 years to solve this problem. The biological processes are however more flexible and complex than ...
    • En maskinvareakselerert parallell gibbs-sampler for oppdaging av motiver 

      Eidsheim, Lars Andreas (Master thesis, 2006)

    • Flexible Discovery of Modules with Distance Constraints 

      Lekang, Øystein (Master thesis, 2006)
      Many authors argue that finding single transcription factor binding sites is not enough to be able to make predictions with regard to regulation in eukaryotic genes, as is the case with simpler prokaryotes. With eukaryotes ...
    • Improved benchmarks for computational motif discovery 

      Sandve, Geir Kjetil; Abul, Osman; Walseng, Vegard; Drabløs, Finn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007-06-08)

    • Learning pattern models from examples 

      Walseng, Vegard (Master thesis, 2006)
      The aim of this thesis is twofold. Firstly, it is a survey of some of the most prevalent pattern models used in motif discovery algorithms. The main goal of the survey is to see how well these models with all their ...
    • Metoder for å akselerere MEME 

      Syrstad, Øyvind Bø (Master thesis, 2006)
      MEME er et mye brukt verktøy for å finne nye mønster i biologiske data, og bruker Expectation Maximation på PWM-er for å finne mønster som skiller seg mest mulig fra bakgrunnen. Siden Expectation Maximation er en algoritme ...
    • Motif discovery in biological sequences 

      Sandve, Geir Kjetil (Master thesis, 2005)
      This master thesis is a Ph.D. research plan for motif discovery in biological sequences, and consists of three main parts. Chapter 2 is a survey of methods for motif discovery in DNA regulatory regions, with a special ...
