TREEMM: identification of bipartite motifs in promoter sequences

Description

TREEMM is a program for unsupervised clustering of promoter sequence based on modeling of distinct classes of bipartite motifs designed to represent binding sites of different Sigma factors. It allows to account for the non-random distribution of such motifs across a tree aimed at summarizing the correlation between the activities of the promoters.
