Web implementation
The algorithm described for the identification of regulatory regions by comparative sequence analysis has been implemented as an intuitive and easy to use web service named ConSite [23]. The implementation allows for three analysis modes: first, alignment and conserved-site analysis of two orthologous genomic sequences applying one or more TF profiles; second, conserved site analysis on a submitted alignment, which allows users to generate alignments from their preferred tools and allows for the analysis of longer genomic sequences; and third, a single-sequence analysis tool. The single-sequence service is functionally comparable to the TESS system [24], but utilizes the
