Welcome to WebMOTIFS, a web interface to TAMO and THEME. You can use this form to submit basic motif discovery jobs, using MDscan, AlignACE, Weeder, and MEME to find motifs in unaligned sequences from S. cerevisiae, M. musculus, and H. sapiens. At the same time, you can do Bayesian motif discovery using THEME. We will run your jobs and email you with the location of the results. We hope to have more motif discovery programs and genomes available soon.

We gratefully acknowledge the authors of AlignACE, MDscan, MEME, and Weeder. Plase note that users of WebMOTIFS may be bound by copyrights and user agreements of these programs. See here for details.

Commercial and clinical use of WebMOTIFS is prohibited.

Please email tamo@mit.edu with any problems, and we will fix them as soon as possible. If you've had problems in the past, please look at the bug-fix log for a record of problems that have been resolved.

We occasionally send out news of updates to WebMOTIF. If you wish to receive these messages, please check this box.
