motifStack 1.34.0 – Visualization of Motif Alignment and the analysis of Transcription Factor Binding site Evolution

motifStack 1.34.0

:: DESCRIPTION

motifStack is a package for the visualization of the alignment of motifs as a phylogenetic tree in different layout types. This tool facilitates the analysis of binding site diversity and conservation within families of TFs and the evolution of TFs among different species. motifStack can align DNA motifs; generate motif signatures for closely related motifs; and plot aligned motifs as a stack, a linear or a radial tree, or a word cloud of sequence logos. Different parameter settings can be used to generate diverse types of plots with color schema highlighting important data features.
