Quick-Summary

Asymmetron is a toolkit for the identifcation of asymmetry patterns in biological sequences. It provides support for four types of analyses:

i) consecutive strand asymmetry estimation in a single file with strand annotation.

ii) strand asymmetry estimation of strand-assigned nucleotide-sequence motifs within strand-assigned regions.

iii) strand asymmetry estimation between two strand-assigned motifs in proximity or overlapping each other.

iv) strand assignment of an unassigned feature based on another overlapping feature, thereby enabling the strand asymmetry analysis of the first.
