Site2genome: locating short DNA sequences in whole genomes

Bioinformatics. 2004 Jun 12;20(9):1468-9. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bth094. Epub 2004 Feb 12.

Abstract

Summary: Many biological papers describe short, functional DNA sites without specifying their exact positions in the genome. We have developed a Web server that automates the tedious task of locating such sites in eukaryotic genomes, thus giving access to the context of rich annotations that are increasingly available for genome sequences.
