Data mining in large DNA sequences is a major challenge in microbial genomics and bioinformatics. Oligonucleotide usage (OU) patterns provide a multitude of information for large scale sequence analysis and visualization. The purpose of this research was to make OU statistical algorithms available in a novel web-based tool for functional genomics and annotation, also available in a downloadable package.
