About OMiMa
The OMiMa System is a computational tool for identifying functional motifs in DNA or protein sequences. OMiMa System is based on the Optimized Mixture of Markov models that are able to incorporate most dependencies within a motif. Most important, OMiMa is capable to adjust model complexity according to motif dependency structures, so it can minimize model complexity without compromising prediction accuracy. OMiMa uses our fast Markov chain optimization method, the Directed Neighbor-Joining (DNJ), which makes OMiMa more computationally efficent.

Test Data and Results
The two original donor splice datasets were from Reese (the small set), and from Yeo and Burge (the large set). TFBS simulated data and the reformated training and testing datasets for OMiMa can be downloaded at the following links.
