摘要

Controlling the differential expression of many thousands different genes at any given time is a fundamental task of metazoan organisms and this complex orchestration is controlled by the so-called encoding complex regulatory networks: several Transcription Factors bind to precise DNA regions, so to perform in a cooperative manner a specific regulation task for nearby genes. The prediction of these binding sites is still an open problem, notwithstanding continuous progress and activity in the last two decades. In this paper, we describe a new efficient combinatorial approach to the problem of detecting sets of cooperating binding sites in promoter sequences, given in input a database of Transcription Factor Binding Sites encoded as Position Weight Matrices. We present CMStalker, a software tool for composite motif discovery which embodies a new approach that combines a constraint satisfaction formulation with a parameter relaxation technique to explore efficiently the space of possible solutions. Extensive experiments with 12 data sets and 11 state-of-the-art tools are reported, showing an average value of the correlation coefficient of 0.54 (against a value 0.41 of the closest competitor). This improvements in output quality due to CMStalker is statistically significant.
