SIGNAL SCAN: a computer program that scans DNA sequences for eukaryotic transcriptional elements
Abstract
SIGNAL SCAN is a program that has been developed to aid the molecular biologist in determining what eukaryotic transcription factor elements (and other significant elements) may exist in a DNA sequence under investigation. The program uses flatfile databases of these elements. SIGNAL SCAN is most useful for analyzing mammalian sequences due to the prevalence of mammalian elements in the database. Elements not found in the SIGNAL SCAN database may be entered by the user. SIGNAL SCAN uses both specific sequence elements derived from biochemical characterization and elements from derived consensus sequences to match against a user input DNA sequence. While any DNA sequence element matching an element in the SIGNAL SCAN database will be reported by the program, the determination of the biological relevance of the element is left up to the investigator.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
