jaspar2meme [options] <file_name | directory_name>
Convert a file of motifs in JASPAR 2014 or 2016 PFM format or a directory of JASPAR files in one of the three old JASPAR formats (SITES, PFM or CM) into a MEME motif suitable for use with MEME Suite programs.
file_name
The file contains motifs in JASPAR 2014 or 2016 PFM format. In these formats, each motif is preceded by a header line that begins with '>' and is followed by a unique identifier (e.g., 'MA0001.1'). An optional second identifier can follow the first (e.g., 'SEP4'). JASPAR 2016 PFM format includes the letter at the beginning of each line and square brackets around the line of counts.
directory_name
A directory containing one or more JASPAR motif files in one of the following three formats.
This format describes a motif in terms of a count matrix where the
rows correspond to A, C, G and T respectively. The JASPAR count
file names are expected to end with the .pfm
extension.
This format describes a motif in terms of a multiple alignment of
sites. It contains a multiple alignment in modified
FASTA format. Only capitalized
sequence letters are part of the alignment. The sites formatted file names
are expected to end with the .sites
extension.
This format describes a motif in terms of a count matrix with each
row preceded by the letters A|
, C|
,
G|
and T|
. The CM count file names are expected
to end with the .cm
extension.
