sMotif / exMotif – Extract / Mine Structured Sequence Motifs DNA sequences

sMotif / exMotif

:: DESCRIPTION

sMotif and exMotif are two complementary for searching and extracting/mining structured sequence motifs DNA sequences. A structured motif consists of simple motifs separated by different gap lengths. The simple motif may be a simple pattern or a position weighted matrix or profile. Given a template structured motif (pattern or profile), sMotif finds all matches in a given set of sequences. On the other hand, exMotif mines novel motifs matching some minimal conditions on the gaps and frequency.

HMS 0.1 – Hybrid Motif Sampler

HMS 0.1

:: DESCRIPTION

HMS (hybrid motif sampler) implements a novel computational algorithm specifically designed for transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) motif discovery using ChIP-Seq data. HMS combines stochastic sampling with determinstic greedy search to achieve rapid and accurate motif pattern identification. In addition, it can identify non-ignorable inter-position dependency inside TFBS motifs.

DIAL – 3-Dimensional RNA Structural Alignment and Motif Detection

DIAL

:: DESCRIPTION

DIAL is a web server for 3-dimensional RNA structural alignment (global and local) and for motif detection. DIAL (DIhedral ALignment) runs in time that is quadratic in input length by performing an alignment which accounts for (i) pseudo-dihedral and/or dihedral angle similarity, (ii) nucleotide sequence similarity, (iii) nucleotide base-pairing similarity.

p53scan 1.05 & p63scan – Search for the p53 or p63 Motif

p53scan 1.05 & p63scan

:: DESCRIPTION

p53scan is an algorithm to search for p53 consensus binding motif, as determined in a genome-wide ChIP-chip study, in DNA sequences. The same algorithm has also been combined with the p63 binding motif obtained from a genome-wide p63 ChIP-seq study in human keratinocytes to form p63scan.
