| 摘 要: 模体发现是计算机科学中的一个较为重要且具有一定挑战的问题,主要用于定位DNA序列集中的保守信 号。首先,分析了已有的基于图聚类的模体发现算法MCL-WMR,讨论了它存在的两个缺陷。其次,针对这两个缺陷 提出了MCL-WMR的改进算法iMCL-WMR。实验结果表明,所提DNA模体发现算法的时间性能好于所比较的算法 MCL-WMR和qPMS9,能够在1个小时以内处理数百条输入序列,而且能够应对某些输入序列不含模体实例的测试 数据。 |

                | Abstract: Motif discovery is an important and challenging issue in computer science,mainly used to locate conserved signals in a set of DNA sequences.At first,a graph clustering based motif discovery algorithm MCL-WMR is analyzed and its two drawbacks are discussed.Then,in order to overcome the two drawbacks,an improved algorithm of MCL-WMR,named as iMCL-WMR,is proposed.Experimental results show that,with a better time performance than the compared algorithms of MCL-WMR and qPMS9,the proposed algorithm can process hundreds of sequences within one hour and deal with any case that some input sequences do not contain motif instances. |
