Abstract We present ModuleMiner a novel algorithm for computationally detecting ás-regulatory modules CRMs in a set of co-expressed genes. ModuleMiner outperforms other methods for CRM detection on benchmark data and successfully detects CRMs in tissue-specific microarray clusters and in embryonic development gene sets. Interestingly CRM predictions for differentiated tissues exhibit strong enrichment close to the transcription start site whereas CRM predictions for embryonic development gene sets are depleted in this region. Background The identification and functional annotation of transcriptional regulatory sequences in the human genome is lagging far behind the rapidly increasing knowledge of proteinencoding genes. These transcriptional regulatory .
