INCLUSive: integrated clustering, upstream sequence retrieval and motif sampling

Bioinformatics. 2002 Feb;18(2):331-2. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/18.2.331.

Abstract

INCLUSive allows automatic multistep analysis of microarray data (clustering and motif finding). The clustering algorithm (adaptive quality-based clustering) groups together genes with highly similar expression profiles. The upstream sequences of the genes belonging to a cluster are automatically retrieved from GenBank and can be fed directly into Motif Sampler, a Gibbs sampling algorithm that retrieves statistically over-represented motifs in sets of sequences, in this case upstream regions of co-expressed genes.
