The MEME Suite

TLDR
The capabilities of all the tools within the MEME suite are described, advice on their best use is given and several case studies are provided to illustrate how to combine the results of various MEME Suite tools for successful motif-based analyses.
Abstract
The MEME Suite is a powerful, integrated set of web-based tools for studying sequence motifs in proteins, DNA and RNA. Such motifs encode many biological functions, and their detection and characterization is important in the study of molecular interactions in the cell, including the regulation of gene expression. Since the previous description of the MEME Suite in the 2009 Nucleic Acids Research Web Server Issue, we have added six new tools. Here we describe the capabilities of all the tools within the suite, give advice on their best use and provide several case studies to illustrate how to combine the results of various MEME Suite tools for successful motif-based analyses. The MEME Suite is freely available for academic use at http://meme-suite.org, and source code is also available for download and local installation.

MEME Suite: tools for motif discovery and searching

TL;DR: The popular MEME motif discovery algorithm is now complemented by the GLAM2 algorithm which allows discovery of motifs containing gaps, and all of the motif-based tools are now implemented as web services via Opal.

Fitting a mixture model by expectation maximization to discover motifs in biopolymers.

TL;DR: The algorithm described in this paper discovers one or more motifs in a collection of DNA or protein sequences by using the technique of expectation maximization to fit a two-component finite mixture model to the set of sequences.

Genomic expression programs in the response of yeast cells to environmental changes.

TL;DR: Analysis of genomic expression patterns in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae implicated the transcription factors Yap1p, as well as Msn2p and Msn4p, in mediating specific features of the transcriptional response, while the identification of novel sequence elements provided clues to novel regulators.

Genome-Wide Mapping of in Vivo Protein-DNA Interactions

TL;DR: A large-scale chromatin immunoprecipitation assay based on direct ultrahigh-throughput DNA sequencing was developed, which was then used to map in vivo binding of the neuron-restrictive silencer factor (NRSF; also known as REST) to 1946 locations in the human genome.
