Software tools for regulatory sequence analysis
CREAD: Comprehensive Regulatory Element Analysis and Discovery. The CREAD software package is a computational pipeline for understanding how DNA and RNA elements participate in regulating gene expression. CREAD uses Pattern-Feature-Model framework for setting up analyses with machine learning and pattern visualization to identify motifs involved in transcriptional regulation. CREAD also includes code libraries to facilitate implementation of new tools.
This software has been designed to run in a UNIX-like environment.

Step 1
This software package requires a functioning installation of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL). If you don't already have this installed, you can download it here. You can also get it from apt, conda or brew.
If GSL is not installed in the default path,
export CPATH=/path_to_my_gsl/include export LIBRARY_PATH=/path_to_my_gsl/lib
will add search paths for compiling and linking.
You will also need to clone this repo recursively to get the source with submodules:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/smithlabcode/cread.git -
Step 2
To build the binaries type the following from the root of the source tree:
make make install
This will create all of the binaries and then create a
bindirectory, in the current directory, containing all the binaries.
