Conserved motif detection and extraction. By searching the parameter space (L, φ) for a specific position i and finding the values ${\left(L_{\max },{\phi }_{\max }\right)}_i=\underset{L,\phi }{\arg \max }{\widehat{g}}_{L,\phi }\left(x_i\right)$ it is possible to extract the most significant suffix in) the entropic profile context, illustrated here for the first four sequences. Each of the panels corresponds to a different sequence and position where the motif was correctly recovered just by using these maxima: a) m3, b) m4, c) m5 and d) Es (see also Table 1). The profiles for the L_max and φ_max are also shown: apparently one can obtain a non-decreasing function of the positions, which means that previous suffixes are embedded in the implanted motifs.
