Figure 1

Diagram of the main steps of the CisMiner procedure. Given a set of TFBSs, the process starts by performing a fuzzy hierarchical clustering to obtain a set of closely located TFBSs. The result of this step is a fuzzy transactional database, which will then be mined by a Fuzzy Frequent Itemset Mining algorithm (Fuzzy Frequent-Pattern Tree) to obtain a set of frequent fuzzy itemsets. Finally, a postprocessing takes place in order to handle overlapping TFBSs that appear in each frequent itemset. As a result, a set of putative CRMs, along with their estimated p-value and their fuzzy support, is given.
