Hi Andreas,
Certainly, but I'm pretty sure this is of no general interest. It is
accompanying software for a paper I've written. It is just an
implementation of the methods I've developed. The package description
itself is fairly useless (I should think about how to write it
better), but I include the abstract of the paper below. This probably
could also use some work.
We describe and implement a method to predict new members of a DNA
sequence motif family using Bayesian model selection. This method
assumes a specific correlation structure on the set of sequences. We
apply our method to test the prediction of DNA sequence motifs in a
cross-validation setup for two datasets.
The software uses SQL (PostgreSQL), Python, R and C++, so it is a bit
of a hotchpotch, and while a small package, it has a large number of
dependencies. Unfortunately the R packages I use are not all in
Debian, last I checked.
Regards, Faheem
