Working with sequence motifs

The modkit motif suite contains tools for discovery and exploration of short degenerate sequences (motifs) that may be enriched in a sample. A common use case is to discover the motifs enriched for modification in a native bacterial sample which can give indication of methyltransferase enzymes present in the genomes present in the sample.

The following tools are available:

  1. Find enriched motifs de novo from a bedMethyl with search.
  2. evaluate or refine a table of known motifs
  3. Making a motif BED file with motif bed
