in reply to Re^5: genetic algorithm for motif finding
in thread genetic algorithm for motif finding
Okay. Thanks for taking the time to clarify things for me.
It strikes me that with the possibilities of motifs as short as 4bp, combined with fuzziness; there must literally billions of places where repeats occur within a few dozens of bps. Without there being some additional information about either what to look for, or where to look, or both; this is just a brute force problem without the possibility for clever or interesting solutions.
I still have a copy of the human genome I downloaded, which I indexed the wazoo out of when trying out my novel indexer, and I still have the indexes (33gb of highly compressed dbs); but without some criteria upon which to start looking, the best I could do is produce another huge file of possibles that would serve no good purpose.
