MEDUSA – Motif Element Detection Using Sequence Agglomeration

MEDUSA

:: DESCRIPTION

MEDUSA (Motif Element Detection Using Sequence Agglomeration) is an integrative method for learning motif models of transcription factor binding sites by incorporating promoter sequence and gene expression data. We use a modern large-margin machine learning approach, based on boosting, to enable feature selection from the high-dimensional search space of candidate binding sequences while avoiding overfitting.
