       •   retrieving a TFBS::Matix::ICM object from a database:

           (See documentation of individual TFBS::DB::* modules to learn how to connect to
           different types of pattern databases and retrieve TFBS::Matrix::* objects from them.)

           (see decumentation of TFBS::MatrixSet to learn how to create objects for storage and
           manipulation of multiple matrices)

               my @icm_list = $matrixset->all_patterns(-sort_by=>"name");

DESCRIPTION

       TFBS::Matrix::ICM is a class whose instances are objects representing position weight
       matrices (PFMs). An ICM is normally calculated from a raw position frequency matrix (see
       TFBS::Matrix::PFM for the explanation of position frequency matrices). For example, given
       the following position frequency matrix,

           A:[ 12     3     0     0     4     0  ]
           C:[  0     0     0    11     7     0  ]
           G:[  0     9    12     0     0     0  ]
           T:[  0     0     0     1     1    12  ]

       the standard computational procedure is applied to convert it into the following
       information content matrix:

           A:[2.00  0.30  0.00  0.00  0.24  0.00]
           C:[0.00  0.00  0.00  1.45  0.42  0.00]
           G:[0.00  0.89  2.00  0.00  0.00  0.00]
           T:[0.00  0.00  0.00  0.13  0.06  2.00]

       which contains the "weights" associated with the occurence of each nucleotide at the given
       position in a pattern.

       A TFBS::Matrix::PWM object is equipped with methods to search nucleotide sequences and
       pairwise alignments of nucleotide sequences with the pattern they represent, and return a
       set of sites in nucleotide sequence (a TFBS::SiteSet object for single sequence search,
       and a TFBS::SitePairSet for the alignment search).
