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 allows the biologist to discover novel motifs in +collections of unaligned nucleotide or protein sequences, and to perform +a wide variety of other motif-based analyses. The Suite supports motif- +based analysis of DNA, RNA and protein sequences. It provides motif +discovery algorithms using both probabilistic (MEME) and discrete models +(MEME), which have complementary strengths. It also allows discovery of +motifs with arbitrary insertions and deletions (GLAM2). In addition to +motif discovery, the MEME Suite provides tools for scanning sequences +for matches to motifs (FIMO, MAST and GLAM2Scan), scanning for clusters +of motifs (MCAST), comparing motifs to known motifs (Tomtom), finding +preferred spacings between motifs (SpaMo), predicting the biological +roles of motifs (GOMo), measuring the positional enrichment of sequences +for known motifs (CentriMo), and analyzing ChIP-seq and other large +datasets (MEME-ChIP). -The MEME suite represents motifs as position-dependent scoring matrices. -It consists of programs which allow you to: +Check README.TESTS for runing the recommended tests on the compiled +executables. Here, the tests *FAIL* on a 32bit system! -- 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. +Check README.DATABASES for more info or if you want to install +meme-suite without the databases present at build time.
