ModuleFinder

Bulyk Lab

This program evaluates the likelihood that a given genomic region is a cisregulatory module for an input set of transcription factors according to its degree of: (1) homotypic site clustering; (2) heterotypic site clustering; and (3) evolutionary conservation across multiple genomes.

MultiFinder

Bulyk Lab

This software performs automated motif searching using four different profile-based motif finders, including AlignACE, MDscan, BioProspector and MEME. We anticipated that using all four of these motif finders might allow the user to combine the strengths of their different algorithms.
