Introduction

edit

Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that bind DNA and thus regulate the trasncription process. The binding is sequence-specific. A sequence motif[5] is a model that describes the common pattern of the DNA binding sites[6] that a particular TF prefers to bind. One of the possible representations of the model is the Position-Weight Matrix (PWM).[7]
