Discover motifs in biological sequences with FIMO, a software tool that identifies overrepresented motifs and helps find functional transcription factor binding sites or regulatory elements.
FIMO (Find Individual Motif Occurrences) is a software tool part of the MEME Suite for discovering occurrences of known motifs in biological sequences. It searches DNA or protein sequences to find matches to predefined motifs from databases such as JASPAR or user-submitted motifs.
Some key features of FIMO include:
FIMO is often used in bioinformatics pipelines to identify functional transcription factor binding sites or regulatory elements in genomic regions. By matching DNA sequences to known motifs, FIMO can help discover functional elements that regulate gene expression and other processes in cells and organisms.
