The Delila servers supply web access to Delila tools. Presently they can be used to:

• Analyze sites in E. coli:
  • ribosome binding sites using a flexible information theory based model.
  • Fis binding sites

• Analyze human splice junctions and their mutations or polymorphisms using an information theory based model.
  Example analysis:
  • ABCR
  Papers:
  • colonsplice
  • rfs

You may access the server either as a guest, in which case you will have a limited number of allowed visits, or as a registered user, in which case you will have unlimited access. To access as a guest, use:
