Description
glam2mask masks a glam2 motif out of sequences, so that weaker motifs can be found. Masking replaces
residues aligned to key positions with the symbol ´x´. By alternately applying glam2 and glam2mask
several times, it is possible to find the strongest, second-strongest, third-strongest, etc. motifs in a
set of sequences.
