NAME

       dba — characterising shared regulatory regions of genomic DNA

SYNOPSIS

       dba [options ... ]  { seq1 seq2 }

DESCRIPTION

       dba  -  standing  for Dna Block Aligner, was developped by Niclas Jareborg, Richard Durbin
       and Ewan Birney for characterising shared regulatory regions of  genomic  DNA,  either  in
       upstream regions or introns of genes

       The idea was that in these regions there would a series of shared motifs, perhaps with one
       or two insertions or deletions but between motifs there would be any length of sequence.

       The subsquent model was a 3 state model which was log-odd'd ratio to a null model of their
       being no examples of a motif in the two sequences.
