This file may be used as input to the MAST algorithm for searching sequence databases for matches to groups of motifs. 28-36, AAAI Press, Menlo Park, California, 1994. MEME numbers the motifs consecutively from one as it finds them. MEME usually finds the most statistically significant motifs first.
MEME estimates the number of places the motif occurs in the training set.
This need not be an integer value. In order to make it easier to see which letters are most likely in each of the columns of the motif, the simplified motif shows the letter probabilities multiplied by 10 rounded to the nearest integer. The information content diagram provides an idea of which positions in the motif are most highly conserved. The diagram is printed so that each column lines up with the same column in the simplified motif letter-probability matrix above it. This gives a measure of the usefulness of the motif for database searches.
