Estimation and efficient computation of the true probability of recurrence of short linear protein sequence motifs in unrelated proteins

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Large datasets of protein interactions provide a rich resource for the discovery of Short Linear Motifs (SLiMs) that recur in unrelated proteins. However, existing methods for estimating the probability of motif recurrence may be bia...
