}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/
Available Parameters:
PARAM VALUES DESCRIPTION
----------------------------------------
tree <file> REQUIRED, Tree in Newick Format
to evaluate parsimony score
REQUIRED unless tree_of_life
exists in FOOTPRINTER_DIR
sequence_type upstream Default upstream
downstream
other
size 4-16 Specifies the size of the motifs sought
max_mutations 0-20 maximum parsimony score allowed for the motifs
max_mutations_per_branch 0-20 Allows at most a fixed number of mutations per
branch of the tree
losses <file> files give span constraints so that the motifs
reported are statistically significant
Example files
universal([6-9]|1[0-2])(loose|tight)?.config
come with FootPrinter2.0.
Install these in FOOTPRINTER_DIR and use by
setting "losses" to "somewhat significant",
"significant", or "very significant". Do not
set loss_cost.
loss_cost 0-20 a cost associated with losing a motif along some
branch of the tre
subregion_size 1-infinity penalize motifs whose position in the sequences
varies too much
position_change_cost 0-20 Cost for changing subregion
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
input sequences
pair_filtering 1/0 Same as triplet filtering, but looks only for one match
per other sequence
post_filtering 1/0 when used in conjunction with the triplet filtering
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.
details 1/0 Shows some of the details about the progress of the computation
html 1/0 produce html output (never deleted)
ps 1/0 produce postscript output (never deleted)FEEDBACK
