Acknowledgments

We are grateful to Waseem Akhtar, Robert Akkers, Max Koeppel, Evelyn Kouwenhoven, Marion Lohrum, Leonie Smeenk and Jo Zhou for providing data and feedback during GimmeMotifs development. Also we would like to thank Stefanie Bartels, Adalberto Costessi, Joost Martens and Nagesha Rao for testing and helpful discussion. Of course GimmeMotifs by itself wouldn’t be able to do anything, if there wasn’t such a number of excellent tools available. Therefore, a big thanks to all the authors of the motif prediction programs for making their software publicly available and allowing me to distribute them with GimmeMotifs! In addition, I would like to thank Wolfgang Lugmayr and Aaron Statham for various bugfixes.
