Background
The geWorkbench Pattern Discovery module uses an algorithm called SPLASH (Califano, 2000) to search for common patterns in sets of DNA or protein sequences. This type of search could be used, for example, to search for common regulatory elements in otherwise unrelated sequences.
For this tutorial, we will begin with the set of 33 sequences retrieved as shown in the Sequence Retrieval tutorial. These sequences derive from a cluster of genes showing similar expression pattern across a number of different experiments.
(Note - there currently is no provision for filtering out repeated sequences from genomic seqeuence. Results should be evaluated in this light).
Setting parameters and running
A number of parameters can be adjusted by the user, as shown in the figure, to adjust the sensitivity of the search.
These include:
- Support - Can be input in number of sequences or in % of sequences containing a given motif.
- Min Tokens - The minimum number of characters in a discovered motif.
- Density Window - A sliding window in which at least the number of tokens set in "Density Tokens" must be found.
- Density Tokens - the minimum number of matching characters within the "Density Window".
Pushing on the button with the curling arrow icon will bring up the session creation box:
A user name must be entered, but it can be any name.
Push Create to start the search.
The results are returned in a table, and the hits for the motif(s) selected below will be displayed superimposed on the sequeces above. In this picture, the results were first sorted by Z-Score, and the motif with the highest score displayed.
Viewing results
The result of the search can be viewed both in the Pattern Discovery module itself and in other sequence viewer modules such as "Sequence" and "Promoter".
Results are added to the Projects Folder
The results of a run of Pattern Discovery are placed in the Project Folder:
