Protein binding sites in DNA or RNA sequences are modeled by probabilistic motifs. A Position Weight Matrix (PWM) is a simple, powerful, and widely used representation of such motifs. Because PWMs assume that sequence positions are independent of eachother (which is too restrictive for some binding or interaction sites), a generalisation of PWMs, termed di-nucleotidic PWMs (di-PWMs) have been introduced by Kulakovskiy et al. 2013 Kulakovskiy_2013. For instance, the HOCOMOCO database is a collection of PWMs and di-PWMs for Transcription Factor binding sites Kulakovskiy_2018.
This package, called dipwmsearch, offers you efficient algorithms to search for occurrences of di-PWMs motifs in DNA or RNA sequences. The search sequence may contain positions with non-ATGC symbols, encoded with IUPAC. A description of the algorithms implemented in this package is available in our article dipwmsearch_2022.

AquaPony: interactive visualization of phylogeographic scenarios AquaPony is a web application designed to explore and interpret evolutionary scenarios on annotated phylogenetic trees (for example, ancestral geographic states). It was built to make uncertainty in ancestral reconstructions easier to understand and communicate. Why AquaPony? In phylogeography, several scenarios can be nearly as plausible as the best…

EPIK is a program dedicated to « Phylogenetic Placement » (PP) of metagenomic or metabarcoding reads on a reference tree. It is similar in spirit and technically the successor of RAPPAS (Linard et al. 2020). EPIK achieves identical or slightly better accuracy than RAPPAS and outperforms it in speed and flexibility. In many aspects the documentation of RAPPAS…
