RibEx -- a web server for locating riboswitches and other conserved bacterial regulatory elements
What you can do:
Search sequences of known and predicted riboswitches and other conserved bacterial regulatory elements.
Highlights:
- This web server is capable of searching any sequence for known riboswitches as well as other predicted, but highly conserved, bacterial regulatory elements.
- It allows the visual inspection of the identified motifs in relation to attenuators and open reading frames (ORFs). Any of the ORF's or regulatory elements' sequence can be obtained with a click and submitted to NCBI's BLAST.
- Alternatively, the genome context of all other genes regulated by the same element can be explored with the genome context tool (GeConT).
