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.

Effective reports don't just present data; they provide recommendations or insights that lead to action. As highlighted by Zebra BI, "actionable reporting" is critical for digital transformation and organizational decision-making. Common Report Elements Title Page Includes the title, author, and date. Executive Summary Provides a high-level overview for busy stakeholders. Introduction Sets the context and defines the report's scope. Body/Discussion Contains the detailed data analysis and visual aids. Recommendations Suggests specific steps to take based on the findings. Common Report Elements Title Page Includes the title,

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!
