TOUCAN 2 -- the all-inclusive open source workbench for regulatory sequence analysis
What you can do:
Analyze regulatory sequences in metazoan genomes.
Highlights:
- TOUCAN is a workbench for regulatory sequence analysis on metazoan genomes: comparative genomics, detection of significant transcription factor binding sites, and detection of cis-regulatory modules (combinations of binding sites) in sets of coexpressed/coregulated genes.
- The main goal of TOUCAN is to allow a user to come to testable hypotheses regarding the regulation of a gene or of a set of co-regulated genes.
- It is a platform independent, standalone Java application that is tightly linked with Ensembl, and was built using the BioJava package.
