DESCRIPTION

Taken from FootPrinter manual:

FootPrinter is a program that performs phylogenetic footprinting. It takes as input a set of unaligned orthologous sequences from various species, together with a phylogenetic tree relating these species. It then searches for short regions of the sequences that are highly conserved, according to a parsimony criterion. The regions identified are good candidates for regulatory elements. By default, the program searches for regions that are well conserved across all of the input sequences, but this can be relaxed to find regions conserved in only a subset of the species

**NOTE** To run FootPrinter, you will need to set the enviroment variable FOOTPRINTER_DIR to where the binary is located. For example: setenv FOOTPRINTER_DIR=/usr/local/bin/FootPrinter2.0/

   triplet_filtering         1/0           pre-filtering step that removes from consideration 
                                           any substring that doesn't have a sufficiently good 
                                           pair of matching substrings in some pair of the other

   pair_filtering            1/0           Same as triplet filtering, but looks only for one match 
                                           per other sequence

                                           option, this often significantly speeds up the program, 
                                           while still garanteeing optimal results
   indel_cost                1-5           insertions and deletions will be allowed in the motifs 
                                           sought, at the given cost
   inversion_cost            1-5           This option allows for motifs to undergo inversions, 
                                           at the given cost. An inversion reverse-complements the motif.

   html                      1/0           produce html output (never deleted)
   ps                        1/0           produce postscript output (never deleted)
