Weeder Web -- discovery of transcription factor binding sites in a set of sequences from co-regulated genes
What you can do:
Find novel motifs ( transcription factor binding sites ) conserved in a set of regulatory regions of related genes.
Highlights:
- Weeder Web is a web interface to Weeder, an algorithm for the automatic discovery of conserved motifs in a set of related regulatory DNA sequences.
- The motifs found are in turn likely to be instances of binding sites for some transcription factor.
- Other than providing access to the program, the interface has been designed so to make usage of the program itself as simple as possible, and to require very little prior knowledge about the length and the conservation of the motifs to be found.
- The interface automatically starts different runs of the program, each one with different parameters, and provides the user with an overall summary of the results as well as some x91advicex92 on which motifs look more interesting according to their statistical significance and some simple considerations.
