Abstract

Structured motifs with arbitrary number of boxes are considered. In particular, such motifs are of interest in molecular biology for identifying gene promoters along genomes. Neat closed-form expressions for relevant distributions associated with occurrences of structured motifs are derived. Our methodology is based on developing a suitable semi-Markov embedding of the problem. A numerical example is also provided.
