Transcription motif finding algorithms

This bachelor thesis deals with finding transcription motifs in DNA sequences. The first part describes the DNA transcription process, the significance of transcription motifs and provides an overview of transcription motif databases. The second part contains the classification of transcription motif finding algorithms, and details seven existing algorithms. In the practical part, functions for the analysis according to the Oligo-Analysis algorithm were created. Created functions were validated on the artificially created sequences with introduced motifs. The analysis of two families of coregulated genes was realized and the results were compared with the values achieved by the authors of the Oligo-Analysis algorithm
