Software for motif discovery and next generation sequencing analysis



HOMER (Hypergeometric Optimization of Motif EnRichment) is a suite of tools for Motif Discovery and ChIP-Seq analysis. It is a collection of command line programs for unix-style operating systems written in mostly perl and c++. Homer was primarily written as a de novo motif discovery algorithm that is well suited for finding 8-12 bp motifs in large scale genomics data.

Hardware Requirements (recommended): 2+ Gb memory (4-8+ Gb), 10+ Gb Hard Drive space (50+ Gb)
Software Requirements: Unix compatible OS (or cygwin), perl, gcc, make, wget (optional for full functionality: R, DESeq2, blat, bedGraphToBigWig, liftOver)
License: GPLv3

HOMER works on pretty much any Linux/UNIX systems, including MacOS (if Xcode compilers are installed) and on Windows using either cygwin or a Linux subsystem.

If you are looking specifically for HOMER2, you are in the right place! HOMER2 is integrated into HOMER.

Guitar Hero Iron Maiden -

Iron Maiden's presence in the Guitar Hero franchise transformed the rhythm game experience by introducing complex, galloping bass lines and iconic dual-guitar harmonies that challenged even veteran players. While the band never received a dedicated standalone game like Metallica or Aerosmith, their contributions to the core series and downloadable content (DLC) are among the most celebrated in the community. Core Franchise Appearances

Iron Maiden’s classic tracks were strategically placed throughout the main series to serve as high-skill benchmarks: Guitar Hero Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden tracks are distinct for several gameplay reasons: Iron Maiden's presence in the Guitar Hero franchise

: Because Steve Harris writes much of the music, the bass charts in these games are often more active and melodic than standard rhythm parts. Clone Hero & The Modding Community Guitar Hero Iron Maiden

Program Components and Older Versions

homer2 program - key executable for HOMER motif discovery (homerCppOnly.*.zip). (This archive actually contains all of the c++ executable, not just homer2).  Unzip in the desired directory and simply type "make" to compile the program.

The configuration script really doesn't deal with older versions, but you can download older versions yourself should you really feel like using inferior data or software!
