creto 1.0
:: DESCRIPTION
creto (Cis-Regulatory Element Turn-Over) is a program for the determination of the evolutionary origination and decay rates of transcription factor binding sites. Given a phylogenetic tree and the binding site numbers of the species at the tips, creto uses a maximum likelihood model that permits variable turnover rates in different parts of the species tree. This model can be used to detect changes in turnover rate as a proxy for differences in the selective pressures acting on TFBS in different clades.
