run_meme {universalmotif} | R Documentation

## Run MEME from within R.

### Description

De novo motif discovery via MEME. For a detailed description of the command, see http://meme-suite.org/doc/meme.html. For a brief description of the command parameters, run `run_meme()`. Parameters in `run_meme()` which are directly taken from the MEME program are tagged with [MEME].

    run_meme(target.sequences, output = NULL, overwrite.dir = FALSE,
      control.sequences = NULL, weights = NULL, text = FALSE,

      shuf = 2, hsfrac = NULL, cefrac = NULL, searchsize = NULL,
      norand = FALSE, csites = 1000, seed = 0, alph = NULL,
      revcomp = FALSE, pal = FALSE, mod = "zoops", nmotifs = 3,
      evt = NULL, nsites = NULL, minsites = NULL, maxsites = NULL,
      wnsites = 0.8, w = NULL, minw = 8, maxw = 50, allw = NULL,
      nomatrim = FALSE, wg = 11, ws = 1, noendgaps = FALSE,
      bfile = NULL, markov_order = 0, psp = NULL, maxiter = 50,
      distance = 0.001, prior = NULL, b = NULL, plib = NULL,
      spfuzz = NULL, spmap = NULL, cons = NULL, p = NULL,
      maxsize = NULL, maxtime = NULL, wd = getwd(),
      logfile = paste0(wd, "/memerun.log"), readsites = TRUE,
      echo = FALSE, verbose = 1, timeout = Inf,
      bin = getOption("meme.bin"))

### Arguments

`echo` | `logical(1)` Dump MEME output to console.
`verbose` | `numeric(1)` Set `verbose = 0` to quiet `run_meme()`.
`timeout` | `numeric(1)` Stop MEME program past `timeout` (seconds). See `processx::run()`.
`bin` | `character(1)` Location of MEME binary. Alternatively, set this via `options(meme.bin = '/path/to/meme/bin')`.
