INPUT/OUTPUT FORMATS

Some formats are supported only for input, others for output. There are more formats accepted for input, because the general use of this program is to convert a PSSM obtained from a database (e.g. TRANSFAC) or a pattern-discovery program (e.g. consensus, gibbs, meme, MotifSampler, ...) and obtain a matrix either for scanning (with matrix-scan) or for computing statistical parameters (see the return fields below). We generally use the TRANSFAC (tf) format, in which we can specify identifiers and names for the matrix.
