pscan
Format string security checker for C files
pscan is a program which scans C source files for common function abuses, which often lead to security problems. Functions which use variadic arguments will be flagged if they appear to contain user-controlled input. It is a useful tool for those performing source code audits.

search for transcription factor binding sites
Pscan finds Over-represented Transcription Factor Binding Site Motifs in Sequences from Co-Regulated or Co-Expressed Genes. Pscan is a software tool that scans a set of sequences (e.g. promoters) from co-regulated or co-expressed genes with motifs describing the binding specificity of known transcription factors and assesses which motifs are significantly over- or under-represented, providing thus hints on which transcription factors could be common regulators of the genes studied, together with the location of their candidate binding sites in the sequences. Pscan does not resort to comparisons with orthologous sequences and experimental results show that it compares favorably to other tools for the same task in terms of false positive predictions and computation time.
