TFBS::PatternGen::SimplePFM(3)

NAME
TFBS::PatternGen::SimplePFM - a simple position frequency matrix factory

SYNOPSIS
    my @sequences = qw( AAGCCT AGGCAT AAGCCT
                        AAGCCT AGGCAT AGGCCT
                        AGGCAT AGGTTT AGGCAT
                        AGGCCT AGGCCT );
    my $patterngen =
            TFBS::PatternGen::SimplePFM->new(-seq_list=>\@sequences);

    my $pfm = $patterngen->pattern(); # $pfm is now a TFBS::Matrix::PFM object

DESCRIPTION
TFBS::PatternGen::SimplePFM generates a position frequency matrix from a set of nucleotide sequences of equal length, The sequences can be passed either as strings, as Bio::Seq objects or as a fasta file.

This pattern generator always creates only one pattern from a given set of sequences.
