Motif Search (Motif Search)

Description

Motif search is the problem of identifying motifs, recurring or conserved patterns, in the strings (typically biological sequence data sets).

$n$: size of set of input strings

$m$: size of input strings

$k$: length of substrings

$\sigma$: function $V(k, m)$ defined as the number of $k$-mers that are at most $m$ Hamming distance from the motif space
