MotifAdjuster: a tool for computational reassessment of transcription factor binding site annotations.
Valuable binding-site annotation data are stored in databases. However, several types of errors can, and do, occur in the process of manually incorporating annotation data from the scientific literature into these databases. Here, we introduce MotifAdjuster http://dig.ipk-gatersleben.de/MotifAdjuster.html, a tool that helps to detect these errors, and we demonstrate its efficacy on public data sets.
