Hi Oliver, I am interested in finding the consensus sequence of transcription factor binding sites of list probe sequences. I found that cosmo would be the best choice. But while going through cosmo vignette, I did not understand selection criteria to choose sequences for calculation of background model. I mean to say, If probe sequences are of promoter region, should sequences to be selected to calculate the back ground model, also be promoter sequences of the same probes?

Hi Oliver, Thanks for the quick reply. I have done an analysis with 10 probe sequences with varying lengths. But I find very large E-Value. Following is my result of cosmo without background model, Estimated position weight matrix:        1      2 3      4      5 6      7      8 A 0.1932 0.5002 0 0.3115 0.0288 0 0.5498 0.7435 C 0.0000 0.0000 1 0.0120 0.0000 0 0.0000 0.1056 G 0.0556 0.0000 0 0.0017 0.2582 1 0.0000 0.0000 T 0.7512 0.4998 0 0.6748 0.7130 0 0.4502 0.1509 Motif occurrences: E-value: 913225239         seq  pos orient    motif      prob 1     MAPK1  171      1 TTCTTGTC 1.0000000 2    STARD5  533      1 TTCATGTC 0.9995751 3    NDFIP2  971      1 AACTTGTA 0.9957829 4  MGC23280  435     -1 TTCATGTA 0.9771451 5   POLR2J2 1209     -1 TTCCAGTA 0.9092027 6  MGC16291  519     -1 TTCAAGAA 0.9060919 7     ICAM5  651      1 TTCTTGAT 0.8572779 8   C6orf64   86      1 AACTGGTA 0.8383198 9     RAB2B  433      1 TACTTGAA 0.6048461 10   HIVEP3   89      1 TTCATGAA 0.3739610 cvOrder: Order of background Markov model estimated as order = 2 by CV eGetStart: Extracting starting values from sequence 10/10 fit: mType =  OOPS conSet = 0 width = 8 nSitesNum = 1/1 starting value = 5/5 finalModel: fitting model for width 8 modType OOPS and conSet 0 finalModel: startNum 3 and nSitesNum 0 fit: mType =  OOPS conSet = 0 width = 8 nSitesNum = 1/1 starting value = 4/5 Can you please tell me what could be the reason? is it because of the different lengths of probes or something else.

So maybe similar promoter sequences that you know don't contain your motif. By default in believe cosmo will just use the sequences you supply to search through. Hope this helps, Oliver On Mar 6, 2010, at 2:11, Prashantha Hebbar <prashantha.hebbar@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi Oliver, I am interested in finding the consensus sequence of transcription factor binding sites of list probe sequences.
