Sherlocc 1.0 – Detect Statistically Relevant Conserved Rare Codon Clusters

Sherlocc 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Sherlocc is a PERL written program able to scan Pfam protein families for conserved regions that have a low codon usage frequency (rare codon clusters). This program represents a novel approach as it is efficient enough to perform large-scale analysis of the proteome via the Pfam protein family database (representing about 70% of the known protein universe).
