Finding the Matrix Attachment Region (MAR) Recognition Signature in DNA sequence
Current version 1.0 released on 7 May 2007
The Matrix Attachment Region (MAR) Recognition Signature (MRS), defined by van Drunen et al. (Nucleic Acids Research 1999, 27:2924-30), has been proposed as a motif characteristic of MAR.
The signature is composed of two motifs (AATAAYAA and AWWRTAANNWWGNNNC (one mis-match allowed)) which lie with 200bp of each other, on either strand of the DNA duplex.
MRSfinder.pl searches a user defined FASTA sequence file for all instances of the MRS and reports their positions.

Website Highlight
The pig-parasitic nematode Ascaris suum.
Ascarids are gut and tissue parasites of a wide range of vertebrates, including humans. This species infects pigs worldwide, and can cause human disease; it is used as a model for the human parasite A. lumbricoides to which it is very closely related. See NEMBASE4 for analyses of ESTs from this parasite and many other nematodes.
