I developed an efficient search algorithm to find a degenerate motif sequence in a target sequence. Our web application enables plant biologists to search for DNA motifs in the proximal promoters, and 3' untranslated regions of all genes from 50 genome-sequenced plant species. The motifs can be in the format of either degenerate sequences or Position Probability Matrix (PPM).
