Possum – Detect Cis-elements in DNA Sequences

Possum

:: DESCRIPTION

Possum predicts cis-elements in DNA sequences using the standard method of Position Specific Scoring Matrices. It measures the resemblance of every sequence fragment to the chosen cis-element matrices by calculating log-likelihood ratio scores (base e), and returns high-scoring sequence fragments.
