r-motifbreakr 2.2.0 Predicting disruptiveness of single nucleotide polymorphisms

This package allows biologists to judge in the first place whether the sequence surrounding the polymorphism is a good match, and in the second place how much information is gained or lost in one allele of the polymorphism relative to another. This package gives a choice of algorithms for interrogation of genomes with motifs from public sources:

  1. a weighted-sum probability matrix;

  2. log-probabilities;

  3. weighted by relative entropy.

This package can predict effects for novel or previously described variants in public databases, making it suitable for tasks beyond the scope of its original design. Lastly, it can be used to interrogate any genome curated within Bioconductor.
