NAME
dba — characterising shared regulatory regions of genomic DNA
SYNOPSIS
dba [options ... ] { seq1 seq2 }
DESCRIPTION
dba - standing for Dna Block Aligner, was developped by Niclas
Jareborg, Richard Durbin and Ewan Birney for characterising shared
regulatory regions of genomic DNA, either in upstream regions or
introns of genes
The idea was that in these regions there would a series of shared
motifs, perhaps with one or two insertions or deletions but between
motifs there would be any length of sequence.
The subsquent model was a 3 state model which was log-odd’d ratio to a
null model of their being no examples of a motif in the two sequences.
