MSCAN -- Identification of Functional Clusters of Transcription Factor Binding Sites

What you can do:
Identify functional transcription factor binding sites in genomic sequences.
Highlights:
  • MSCAN is a leading method for binding site cluster detection that determines the significance of observed sites while correcting for local compositional bias of sequences. The algorithm is highly flexible, applying any set of input binding models to the analysis of a user-specified sequence.
  • A key feature of the system is that no reference data sets of regulatory sequences from co-regulated genes are required to train the algorithm.
  • The output from MSCAN consists of an ordered list of sequence segments that contain potential regulatory modules.
Keywords:
  • promoter analysis
  • DNA-binding sites
