TFM-Scan



Fast matching of Position Weight Matrices

TFM-scan is an efficient program for finding instances of patterns given as position specific scoring matrices or position weight matrices in DNA sequences. It can handle large sets of matrices, such as those available in the Transfac or Jaspar databases and allows for genome-scale analysis. TFM-Scan is also able to cluster similar matrices and similar occurrences.
