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.
