Abstract: Highlights•We propose the first solution to differentially private DNA motif finding.•Our solution is based on the n-gram model and is optimized for DNA motif finding.•We provide a theoretical utility analysis of our solution.•We experimentally show the promise of integrating privacy into DNA motif finding.
