A novel way of gene regulatory elements identifying

Now discovering and recognizing gene regulatory elements have become one of the most important approaches in analysis of genome sequences,but most of the current algorithms for identifying regulatory elements are easily to converge into a local optimum, and have high time complexity. Therefore, we propose a novel optimization algorithm named ACRI(ant-colony-regulatory-identification) for identifying regulatory elements. Based on powerful optimization ability of ant-colony algorithm, the algorithm ACRI can not only improve the quality of results, but also solve the problem at a very high speed. Experimental results show that ACRI can obtain higher quality of solutions using less computational time than other traditional algorithms.
