MOTIF FINDER
Motifs are reoccurring patterns found in DNA and protein sequences. DNA and protein sequence motifs are presumed to have biological significance and they can be used to predict protein function. Protein sequences also contain structural motifs that may be conserved in a large number of different proteins, contributing towards the formation of their three dimensional structures.
Sequence motifs can be used to indicate sequence specific binding sites for proteins such as nucleases and transcription factors. Proteins involved in important processes at the RNA level, ribosome binding, mRNA processing including splicing, editing, polyadenylation and transcription termination can also be studied with the help of sequence motifs. Motifs in a DNA or a protein sequence are not always specific, they can be present in several pattern specific or position specific variations.
To Find Motifs in Protein Sequence
Input contains a protein sequence in the text area and size of the motif. The output shows the repeats of the motif in the protein sequence.
To Find Motif Patterns in Protein Sequence
Input contains a protein sequence in the text area and a protein motif. The output shows the position of the motif in the protein sequence.
To Find Motifs in DNA Sequence
Input contains a DNA sequence in the text area and the size of the motif . The output shows the repeats of the motif in the DNA sequence.
To find Motif Patterns in DNA Sequence
Input contains a DNA sequence in the text area and a motif pattern. The output shows the position of the motif in the DNA sequence.
To Find Protein Motifs in DNA Sequence
Input contains a DNA sequence in the text area and a protein motif. The output shows the translated protein sequence and the position of the motif.
