Multi-platform GUI-enabled standalone software for detection of binding sites in genetic sequences
jFITOM is a Java version of FITOM. Like xFITOM, jFITOM uses a set of aligned sites and/or IUB consensus sequences to construct a position-specific frequency matrix and search a set sequences for putative binding sites. It can be donwloaded or run as an applet and provides fast searches for annotated genomes. Among other improvements, jFITOM returns relevant annotation on both genomic strands and operon information.

Installation
You will need the Java Runtime Environment in order to run jFITOM. To install, jFITOM just donwload the jfitom-run.jar file, save it in the folder of your preference and double click on it to launch jFITOM.
