Functional characterization of transcription factor motifs using cross-species comparison across large evolutionary distances.

We address the problem of finding statistically significant associations between cis-regulatory motifs and functional gene sets, in order to understand the biological roles of transcription factors. We develop a computational framework for this task, whose features include a new statistical score fo...
