R’MES 3.1.0 – Finding Exceptional Motifs in Sequences

R’MES 3.1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

R’MES is a set of C++ programs devoted to the detection of motifs with an exceptional frequency in sequences (DNA, protein or other).The main question R’MES addresses is “does this motif occur in that biological sequence with an expected frequency?” In other words, can we observe it so many times, or so few times, just by chance? Usually, when the answer is no, such a motif is a candidate to have a particular biological meaning; only a candidate: statistical significance is not equivalent to biological significance.

HapFinder 1.0 – Finding common Haplotype Blocks in a database

HapFinder 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

HapFinder is a method which can find the common longest haplotype under three different settings from a database, which is relevant in the analysis of positive selection in population genetics and also in medical genetics for finding the likely haplotype form carrying the causal allele at the functional polymorphism.

MOST+ 1.5 – Motif Finding system combing Genomic Sequence and Heterogenous Genome-wide Signatures

MOST+ 1.5

:: DESCRIPTION

MOST+ is a fast MOTIF finding tool(MOtif finding by Suffix tree and heterogeneous Tags). It extracts distribution features of nearby epigenomic markers, like histone modification or nucleosome occupancy, to help de novo find motif, thus rendering a higher level of accuracy on characterizing motif (cross-validated by ChIP-seq data) and more co-factors.
