Predicting regulatory elements in repetitive sequences using transcription factor binding sites

Repeat sequences are the most abundant ones in the extragenic region of genomes. Biologists have already found a large number of regulatory elements in this region. These elements may profoundly impact the chromatin structure formation in nucleus and also contain important clues in genetic evolution...

description Repeat sequences are the most abundant ones in the extragenic region of genomes. Biologists have already found a large number of regulatory elements in this region.

The association rules mined would facilitate efforts to identify gene classes regulated by similar mechanisms and accurately predict regulatory elements. Herein, the combinations of transcription factor binding sites in the repeat sequences are obtained and, then, data mining techniques are applied to mine the association rules from the combinations of binding sites.
