TOUCAN 2: the all-inclusive open source workbench for regulatory sequence analysis.

Laboratory of Neurogenetics, Department of Human Genetics, Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology and K.U.Leuven Belgium. stein.aerts@med.kuleuven.ac.be

We present the second and improved release of the TOUCAN workbench for cis-regulatory sequence analysis. TOUCAN implements and integrates fast state-of-the-art methods and strategies in gene regulation bioinformatics, including algorithms for comparative genomics and for the detection of cis-regulatory modules. This second release of TOUCAN has become open source and thereby carries the potential to evolve rapidly. The main goal of TOUCAN is to allow a user to come to testable hypotheses regarding the regulation of a gene or of a set of co-regulated genes. TOUCAN can be launched from this location: http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~saerts/software/toucan.php.
