A motif is a pattern of nucleotides or amino acids +that appears repeatedly in a group of related DNA or protein sequences. + +The MEME suite represents motifs as position-dependent scoring matrices. +It consists of programs which allow you to: + +- meme - discovery of motifs shared by a group of sequences +- mast - search of databases for sequences containing these motifs +- tomtom - searching databases of motifs for similar motifs +- gomo - finding Gene Ontology terms linked to the motifs +- glam2 - discovery of gapped motifs +- glam2scan - scanning sequences with gapped motifs +- fimo - scanning sequences with motifs +- mcast - finding motif clusters +- meme-chip - analysis of large DNA datasets like ChIPseq output +- spamo - finding motif complexes by analysing motif spacing +- dreme - discovery of short regular expression motifs + +Note: building on a 32bit architecture fails at the 'make test' step +(check script). If the step is disabled, the suite builds, however it +may or may NOT work properly. Therefore, 32bit is set as 'UNTESTED'. +The 'make test' step will also fail if you don't build in a proper root +environment. + +To cite the full MEME suite: +Timothy L.
