From: A survey of motif discovery methods in an integrated framework
A schematic view of the integrated framework. A single motif, denoted by m g , consists of two parts, m g is how well the sequence matches a consensus, while o g is a prior on whether any regulatory element is to occur at that position. A set of single motifs, together with inter-motif distance restrictions (d), then forms a composite motif (c g ). Finally, multiple occurrences of a composite motif in the regulatory regions of a gene is represented by a gene score G c .
