DNA familial binding profiles made easy: comparison of various motif alignment and clustering strategies. by Shaun Mahony, Philip E Auron, Panayiotis V Benos

“…We find that local alignments are generally better than global alignments at detecting eukaryotic DNA motif similarities, especially when combined with the sum of squared distances or Pearson's correlation coefficient comparison metrics. In addition, multiple-alignment strategies for binding profiles and tree-building methods are tested for their efficiency in constructing generalized binding models. …”
