scanMiR
https://bioconductor.org/packages/scanMiRA set of tools for working with miRNA affinity models (KdModels), efficiently scanning for miRNA binding sites, and predicting target repression. It supports scanning using miRNA seeds, full miRNA sequences (enabling 3' alignment) and KdModels, and includes the prediction of slicing and TDMD sites. Finally, it includes utility and plotting functions (e.g. for the visual representation of miRNA-target alignment).

This R package helps the user identify k-mers (e.g. di- or tri-nucleotides) present periodically in a set of genomic loci (typically regulatory elements). The functions of this package provide a straightforward approach to find periodic occurrences of k-mers in DNA sequences, such as regulatory elements. It is not aimed at identifying motifs separated by a conserved distance; for this type of analysis, please visit MEME website.
The Structstrings package implements the widely used dot bracket annotation for storing base pairing information in structured RNA. Structstrings uses the infrastructure provided by the Biostrings package and derives the DotBracketString and related classes from the BString class. From these, base pair tables can be produced for in depth analysis. In addition, the loop indices of the base pairs can be retrieved as well. For better efficiency, information conversion is implemented in C, inspired to a large extend by the ViennaRNA package.
Functions, workflow, and a Shiny application for visualizing sequence conservation and designing degenerate primers, probes, and (RT)-(q/d)PCR assays from a multiple DNA sequence alignment. The results can be presented in data frame format and visualized as dashboard-like plots. For more information, please see the package vignette.
MotifPeeker is used to compare and analyse datasets from epigenomic profiling methods with motif enrichment as the key benchmark. The package outputs an HTML report consisting of three sections: (1. General Metrics) Overview of peaks-related general metrics for the datasets (FRiP scores, peak widths and motif-summit distances). (2. Known Motif Enrichment Analysis) Statistics for the frequency of user-provided motifs enriched in the datasets. (3. Motif Discovery Enrichment Analysis) Statistics for the frequency of ab-initio discovered motifs enriched in the datasets and compared with known motifs.
