PWMScan: a fast tool for scanning entire genomes with a position-specific weight matrix

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, Romain Fernand Pietro Groux

Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to specific short DNA sequences of 5 to 20-bp to regulate the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA. We present PWMScan, a fast web-based tool to scan server-r ...
