libtfbs-perl - 0.7.1-3+b2 main

The TFBS perl modules comprise a set of routines to interact with the
Transfac and Jaspar databases that describe a special family of proteins,
the transcription factors. These bind to genomic DNA to initiate (or
prevent) the readout of a gene. Once multiple binding sites are known
for a transcription factor, these are gathered in a single file and are
aligned in order to find position-specific characteristica that might
be used to predict such binding events in novel DNA sequences.

Note: the TFBS perl module is no longer under active development. All the
functionality can be found in the TFBSTools Bioconductor package; users are
highly encouraged to switch.
