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.
