Functions and classes for de novo prediction of transcription factor binding consensus by heuristic search
Provides tools for large-scale protein motif analysis and visualization in R. PMScanR facilitates the identification of motifs using external tools like PROSITE's ps_scan (handling necessary file downloads and execution) and enables downstream analysis of results. Key features include parsing scan outputs, converting formats (e.g., to GFF-like structures), generating motif occurrence matrices, and creating informative visualizations such as heatmaps, sequence logos (via seqLogo/ggseqlogo). The package also offers an optional Shiny-based graphical user interface for interactive analysis, aiming to streamline the process of exploring motif patterns across multiple protein sequences.
Pqsfinder detects DNA and RNA sequence patterns that are likely to fold into an intramolecular G-quadruplex (G4). Unlike many other approaches, pqsfinder is able to detect G4s folded from imperfect G-runs containing bulges or mismatches or G4s having long loops. Pqsfinder also assigns an integer score to each hit that was fitted on G4 sequencing data and corresponds to expected stability of the folded G4.
