Analysis of Privacy Protection Methods for DNA Motif Finding | Biomedgrid

DNA motif finding is a repetitive expressive sequence fragment that found in given DNA sequence sets and its precise location is of significance to fully comprehend the regulation mechanism of genetic expression. Motif finding is the key to grasp the mechanism of genetic transcriptional regulation, however, the security and privacy issues of motif finding are so overwhelming that we must to pay more attention to it. In our paper, we simply overviewed the methods for protecting motif finding privacy from three broad perspectives: Controlled access, anonymity method, and ε -differential privacy.
