Locomotif is a GUI-based program that allows for the visual
design of RNA motifs. The graphical structures are then
translated into executable programs to be used for searching a
motif in a sequence (plain text or FASTA format).
This project is still under development, so feel free to
contact us with comments and suggestions.
