Abstract:
In bioinformatics and computational biology studies, motif scanning methods are used for solving various sequence analysis problems - e.g. determining family membership, or identifying structural and functional features. The aim of motif scanning applications is to detect as many significant motifs as possible, while minimising the effect of noise. Therefore, accuracy of motif scanning procedures is of great importance.
Accuracy depends on, among other things, a good query pattern definition. With the explosion in newly available sequence data, where only a small portion has been thoroughly analysed and properly defined, creating an unbiased query with a sufficient quality and size has become a demanding task. To some degree, that limitation could be overcome using dynamic programming approaches or approximations.
This talk will primarily focus on solutions for scanning of protein sequence motifs that contribute to the biological function, and similarity threshold definitions in iterative approaches and a graph theory framework. However, proposed solutions are transferable, as long as one can determine the expected similarity between objects under consideration.

Vljudno vabljeni! Seminar bo potekal v angleškem jeziku. / You are cordially invited to attend this lecture, which will be delivered in English.
