    								By Group 2 (Purvi Shah,Jasleen Kaur,Sean Boyle) 
*************************************************************************************************************************

Motif Discovery Programs used are:

  1. MEME at SDSC

  2. Gibbs Sampler

  3. RAS-GIBBS

Summary :
The data-set can be downloaded from :

Get Benchmark Datasets from University of Washington Motif Discovery Assessment!!!

From the Real Bench-mark Data sets given,we selected 5 files containing human sequences, namely
  • hm01r
  • hm02r
  • hm12r
  • hm17r
  • hm22r

The above data sequences where given as an input to the Motif Discovery Programs.
Output from all the 3 Motif Discovery programs where compared with the known data sets .

Calculations after comparison with the known and predicted sites is shown in the following table.
