Overview

Imogene works in two different modes. In the genmot mode, motifs are predicted on the basis of a set of functionally related enhancers. In the scangen mode, enhancers are predicted from a set of motifs.

It is programmed in C++, accompanied by a bunch of python help scripts. In addition, an xml description page is provided for the mobyle system.
