Abstract
Nowadays, people are more and more concentrated on the research of deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA). And a very important problem is how to identify the DNA performance. A DNA sequence contains lots of genes, and every gene has a regulatory region. This regulatory region contains the transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) which is also known as motif. How to identify this motif becomes a very important problem. There are many efficient methods and tools are dedicated to the research of DNA motif detection. In this paper, we will introduce a new method of DNA motif detection which basically is an advanced approximate voting algorithm. Through a series of experiments, we find that this method performs well on small number for input sequences compared with other famous tools.
