dba — characterising shared regulatory regions of genomic DNA
Contents
Description
dba - standing for Dna Block Aligner, was developed by Niclas Jareborg, Richard Durbin and Ewan Birney
for characterising shared regulatory regions of genomic DNA, either in upstream regions or introns of
genes
The idea was that in these regions there would a series of shared motifs, perhaps with one or two
insertions or deletions but between motifs there would be any length of sequence.
The subsquent model was a 3 state model which was log-odd'd ratio to a null model of their being no
examples of a motif in the two sequences.
