We have developed a set of tools to construct positional weight matrices from known
transcription factor binding sites in a species or taxon-specific manner, and to search for
matches in DNA sequences. Availability: PROMO can be accessed online at http://www. lsi.

Abstract
Summary: We have developed a set of tools to construct positional weight matrices from known transcription factor binding sites in a species or taxon-specific manner, and to search for matches in DNA sequences.
