title: 'PscanR: Motif Enrichment Analysis of Regulatory DNA Sequences'
version: 0.99.0
doi: 10.1093/nar/gkp464
abstract: R implementation of the 'Pscan' algorithm for motif enrichment analysis
  in regulatory DNA sequences, based on Zambelli et al. (2009) <https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkp464>.
  'PscanR' scans a set of DNA sequences (e.g., promoters) from co-regulated or co-expressed
  genes, using transcription factor binding motifs from databases such as JASPAR.
  It identifies significantly enriched motifs, providing thus hints on which transcription
  factors could be common regulators of the genes studied, together with the location
  of their candidate binding sites in the sequences.
