Title: Software tools for motif and pattern scanning: program descriptions including a universal sequence reading algorithm. Author: Cockwell KY, Giles IG. Journal: Comput Appl Biosci; 1989 Jul; 5(3):227-32. PubMed ID: 2766008. Abstract: Two programs, MOTIF and PATTERN, that scan sequences for matches to user-defined motifs and patterns of motifs based on identity and set membership are described. The programs use a simple and logical notation to define motifs, and may be used either interactively or by using command line parameters (suitable for batch processing). The two programs described also incorporate a simple, yet reliable, algorithm that automatically detects in which of six possible formats the sequence entry is written.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
