Software

• GIMSAN - web application/server for motif-discovery equipped with a practical and reliable statistical significance analysis. It is also available as a stand-alone application on Unix.
• ALICO - Alignment Constrained null set generator: a framework to generate randomized versions of an input multiple sequence alignment that preserve some of its crucial features including its dependence structure.
• GibbsILR - motif-finder that optimizes for the incomplete likelihood ratio (ILR)

Preprints

• Patrick Ng (2017). dna2vec: Consistent vector representations of variable-length k-mers. arXiv preprint arXiv:1701.06279.
