Hi,
 
Perhaps this isn't the most straight way of doing it, but If you connect
Perl with the statistical software R you could generate this random
motifs you mention. R can also be called in batch mode from Perl or
other scripting languages such as Python or PHP (via a "system" command
or something similar).
 
Hope this helps,
 
Xavi.

Asunto: [BiO BB] generate random motifs



Hi all,
 
I need some help to generate random motifs. The goal is to 
generate a random motif of width w.  Each position will
have a dominant letter with probability around 0.85.
 
I know there is python module TAMO
(http://jura.wi.mit.edu/fraenkel/TAMO/documentation/TAMO.MotifTools.html
#Motif-emit
<http://jura.wi.mit.edu/fraenkel/TAMO/documentation/TAMO.MotifTools.html
#Motif-emit> )
which can do this job.
 
Can anybody know how to do this using Perl/Bioperl?
 
Thank you very much and look forward to your reply!
 
Best Regards,
   Maya
