DEME 1.0 – Motif Discovery using Positive & Negative Examples

DEME 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

DEME (Discriminatively Enhanced Motif Elicitation) is a discriminative motif discovery algorithm for use with protein and DNA sequences. Using a probabilistic framework, DEME discovers motifs that are overrepresented in a set of “positive” sequences relative to a “negative” set.

Tmod 1.1.1 – Toolbox of Motif Discovery

Tmod 1.1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

Tmod (Toolbox of Motif Discovery) is developed for the users of Windows operating systems, and has an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). Tmod integrates twelve motif discovery programs: AlignACE (Roth et al., 1998), BioProspector (Liu et al., 2001), Consensus (Hertz and Stormo, 1999), MEME (Bailey and Elkan, 1994), MDscan (Liu et al., 2002), MotifSampler(Thijs, et al., 2001; Thijs, et al., 2002), SeSiMCMC (Favorov, et al., 2005), GLAM (Frith, et al., 2004), MotifRegressor(Conlon, et al., 2003), YMF(Sinha and Tompa, 2003), Weeder (Pavesi, et al., 2001; Pavesi, et al., 2004; Pavesi, et al., 2004) and Gibbs Motif Sampler (Liu, et al., 1995; Newberg, et al., 2007; Thompson, et al., 2004; Thompson, et al., 2003; Thompson, et al., 2007). The motif finding algorithms included in Tmod have all been widely cited and proved excellent methods in the research field of motif discovery.
