MOST+


is a fast MOTIF finding tool(MOtif finding by Suffix tree and heterogeneous Tags). It extracts distribution features of nearby epigenomic markers, like histone modification or nucleosome occupancy, to help de novo find motif, thus rendering a higher level of accuracy on characterizing motif (cross-validated by ChIP-seq data) and more co-factors. By taking advantage of advanced data structure and tuning, MOST+ is faster than existing motif finding algorithms to our knowledge.
