[Biopython] <q> Bio Motif

[Bartek Wilczynski]

Hi David,

The references given by Michiel are fine. If you are using the
specific methods for choosing the thresholds based on the expected
false positive/negative rates you could cite the paper by Svedn
Rahmann et al. (pubmed id 16646785).

My suggestion would be to cite "Biological Sequence Analysis: Probabilistic Models of Proteins and Nucleic Acids" by Richard Durbin et al. as a general reference for these kinds of analysis, but the actual author of the relevant parts of Bio.Motif may have other suggestions. I would also encourage you to cite the generic Biopython reference (PubMed ID 19304878).
