  3. The Motif Finding Problem • If starting positions s=(s1, s2,… st) are given, finding consensus is easy because we can simply construct (and evaluate) the profile to find the motif. • But… the starting positions s are usually not given. How can we find the “best” profile matrix? • Gibbs sampling • Expectation-Maximization algorithm

  4. Notations • Set of symbols: • Sequences: S = {S1, S2, …, SN} • Starting positions of motifs: A = {a1, a2, …, aN} • Motif model ( ) : qij = P(symbol at the i-th position = j) • Background model: pj = P(symbol = j) • Count of symbols in each column: cij= count of symbol, j, in the i-th column in the aligned region

  5. Motif Finding Problem • Problem: find starting positions and model parameters simultaneously to maximize the posterior probability: • This is equivalent to maximizing the likelihood by Bayes’ Theorem, assuming uniform prior distribution:

  6. Equivalent Scoring Function • Maximize the log-odds ratio:

  7. Sampling and optimization • To maximize a function, f(x): • Brute force method: try all possible x • Sample method: sample x from probability distribution: p(x) ~ f(x) • Idea: suppose xmax is argmax of f(x), then it is also argmax of p(x), thus we have a high probability of selecting xmax

  8. Gibbs Sampling • Idea: a joint distribution may be hard to sample from, but it may be easy to sample from the conditional distributions where all variables are fixed except one • To sample from p(x1, x2, …xn), let each state of the Markov chain represent (x1, x2, …xn), the probability of moving to a state (x1, x2, …xn) is: p(xi |x1, …xi-1,xi+1,…xn). It is also called Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method.

  9. Gibbs Sampling

  10. Gibbs Sampling in Motif Finding Randomly initialize A0; Repeat: (1) randomly choose a sequence z from S; A* = At \ az; compute θt = estimator of θ given S and A*; (2) sample az according to P(az = x), which is proportional to Qx/Px; update At+1 = A* union x; Select At that maximizes F; Qx: the probability of generating x according to θt; Px: the probability of generating x according to the background model

  11. Estimator of θ • Given an alignment A, i.e. the starting positions of motifs, θ can be estimated by its MLE with smoothing (e.g. Dirichlet prior with parameter bj):
