MATCHTM: a tool for searching transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences
2003
Nucleic Acids Research
Match TM is a weight matrix-based tool for searching putative transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences. ...
In particular, Match TM uses the matrix library collected in TRANSFAC 1 and therefore provides the possibility to search for a great variety of different transcription factor binding sites. ...
Part of this work was supported by Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences and by a grant of the European Commission (BIO4-95-0226). ...

Beyond microarrays: Finding key transcription factors controlling signal transduction pathways
2006
BMC Bioinformatics
Transcription factors constitute a class of the regulatory molecules that typically require posttranscriptional modifications or ligand binding in order to exert their function. ...
We demonstrate that promoters of genes encoding components of many known signal transduction pathways are enriched by binding sites of those transcription factors that are endpoints of the considered pathways ...
We have developed two computational tools: F-Match™ for revealing over-and underrepresented sites of promoters and ArrayAnalyzer™ for identification of key nodes in signal transduction networks. ...

Walking pathways with positive feedback loops reveal DNA methylation biomarkers of colorectal cancer
2019
BMC Bioinformatics
Methods: We have developed a method for finding potential causal relationships between epigenetic changes (DNA methylations) in gene regulatory regions that affect transcription factor binding sites (TFBS ...
We call this method "Walking pathways", since it searches for potential rewiring mechanisms in cancer pathways due to dynamic changes in the DNA methylation status of important gene regulatory regions ...
