N2 - Motifs are relatively short sequences that are biologically significant, and their discovery in molecular sequences is a well-researched subject. A don’t care is a special letter that matches every letter in the alphabet. Formally, a motif is a sequence of letters of the alphabet and don’t care letters. A motif (Formula presented) that occurs at least k times in a sequence is maximal if it cannot be extended (to the left or right) nor can it be specialised (that is, its d’≤d don’t cares cannot be replaced with letters from the alphabet) without reducing its number of occurrences. Here we present a new dynamic data structure, and the first on-line algorithm, to discover all maximal motifs in a sliding window of length l on a sequence x of length n in (Formula presented) time, where w is the size of the machine word and DIFFi i-1 is the symmetric difference of the sets of occurrences of maximal motifs at x[i-l..i-1] and at x[i-l+1..i].
