charter     Signal Scan is a program which has been developed to aid the
            molecular biologist in determining what eukaryotic transcription
            factor elements, and other significant elements, may exist in a
            DNA sequence.  To accomplish this a database of these elements
            has been innitiated.  This program, at present, is most useful
            for analyzing mammalian sequences due to the prevalence of
            mammalian elements in the database.  A list of elements may also
            be entered by the user.  Signal Scan uses both elements derived
            from biochemical characterization and elements from derived
            consensus sequences to match against a user input DNA sequence.
            While any sequence element matching an element in the database
            will be reported by the program, the determination of the
            biological relevance of the element is left up to the
            investigator.
