Programs

  • CONSENSUS (version 6c) : this program determines consensus patterns in unaligned sequences. The algorithm is based on a matrix representation of a consensus pattern. Each row corresponds to one of the letters of the relevant alphabet


  • WCONSENSUS (version 5c) : this program determines consensus patterns in unaligned sequences. The major difference between "wconsensus" and "consensus" is that this program will determine the width of the pattern being sought. The algorithm is based on a matrix representation of a consensus pattern. Each row corresponds to one of the letters of the relevant alphabet


  • PATSER (version 3b) : this program scores the L-mers (subsequences of length L) of the indicated sequences against the indicated alignment or weight matrix. The elements of an alignment matrix are simply the number of times that the indicated letter is observed at the indicated position of a sequence alignment.


  • SEQUENCE LOGO : This program runs Alpro and Makelogo program of Delila package (developed by Tom Schneider) and generates sequence logo in .png format image.
