read_homer {universalmotif}

R Documentation

Import HOMER motifs.

Description

Import HOMER formatted motifs. See http://homer.ucsd.edu/homer/motif/. Assumed to be DNA motifs. Note that HOMER motifs come with a pre-determined logodds threshold; if you wish to re-create HOMER's motif scanning, then use it in scan_sequences() (see examples).

Usage

read_homer(file, skip = 0)

Arguments

file	character(1) File name.
skip	numeric(1) If not zero, will skip however many desired lines in the file before starting to read.

Value

list universalmotif objects.
