GimmeMotifs is a motif prediction pipeline.
Project description
GimmeMotifs
Suite of motif tools, including a motif prediction pipeline for ChIP-seq experiments.
See full GimmeMotifs documentation for detailed installation instructions and usage examples.
For documentation on the development version see here.
Easy installation
The most straightforward way to install GimmeMotifs is via conda using the bioconda channel.
If you have not used bioconda yet, first set up the necessary channels (in this order!):
$ conda config --add channels r
$ conda config --add channels defaults
$ conda config --add channels conda-forge
$ conda config --add channels bioconda
Install GimmeMotifs:
$ conda install gimmemotifs
Or create a specific environment:
$ conda create -n gimme python=3 gimmemotifs
Python 3 is the preferred version, however, GimmeMotifs also supports Python 2.
If you created a conda environment, don't forget to activate it with source activate gimme
whenever you want to use GimmeMotifs.
Quick start
Predict some motifs:
$ gimme motifs my_peaks.bed -g /data/genomes/hg38/hg38.fa -n my_motifs
Download a genome
The example above assumes that you have the hg38 genome in
/data/genomes/hg38/hg38.fa
.
GimmeMotifs can also use genomes installed by
genomepy.
You can configure the directory where genomepy stores genomes by editing
~/.config/genomepy/genomepy.yaml
genome_dir: /data/genomes
To download a genome from UCSC:
$ genomepy install hg38 UCSC --annotation
Now you can specify this genome for GimmeMotifs by name.
$ gimme motifs my_peaks.bed -g hg38 -n my_motifs
