Elucidating the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation relies heavily on the sequence annotation of the binding sites of DNA-binding proteins called transcription factors. With the rationale that binding sites conserved across different species are more likely to be functional, the standard approach is to employ cross-species comparisons and focus the search to conserved regions. Usually, computational methods that annotate conserved binding sites perform the alignment and binding site annotation steps separately and combine the results in the end. If the binding site descriptions are weak or the sequence similarity is low, the local gap structure of the alignment poses a problem in detecting the conserved sites. In this thesis, I introdu...
