title: [Averaging results of site recognition can increase the accuracy of annotating the human genome].
abstract: A systemic approach is proposed, which makes it possible to increase the accuracy of recognition of functional sites in arbitrary DNA sequences. The approach is based on the Central limit theorem and consists in the averaging of a large number of recognitions of a particular site. To obtain a rather large number of recognitions within the framework of conventional methods of recognition, consensus, and frequency matrix, 20 novel oligonucleotide alphabets were used. The approach was used to study the binding sites of GATA-1 and C/EBP transcription factors. It was found that the averaged recognition of these sites is more precise than each of specific recognitions, which just follows from the Central limit theorem.
