CREAD2

:: DESCRIPTION

CREAD (Comprehensive Regulatory Element Analysis & Discovery) includes efficient tools for performing fundamental tasks in motif discovery and regulatory sequence analysis. CREAD also includes code libraries to facilitate the implementation of new tools. In addition to fundamental tools, CREAD includes an implementation of the MARS machine learning algorithm, and a Suffix Tree implementation designed for repeated searching of large amounts of sequence data using position-weight matrices, a common representation for transcription-factor binding-sites.
