81 **What it does**
|
|
82
|
|
83 Weeder2 is a program for finding novel motifs (transcription factor binding sites)
|
|
84 conserved in a set of regulatory regions of related genes.
|
|

90 **Usage advice**
|
|
91
|
|
92 Guidelines on how to use this tool can be seen in Zambelli et al. 2014 (see link
|
|
93 below), but the following is a brief guide. Please note that **motifs** are a model
|
|
94 or matrix that describes a set of sequences that may differ in the base composition.
|
|
95 **Oligos** are specific sequences found within the input sequences or genomic
|
|
96 background.
|
|
97
|
|
98 **Input sequence** (in FASTA format) should be short (100-200bp) and be reasonably
|
|
99 expected to contain an enriched motif(s). This is not generally an issue with
|
|
100 transcription factor ChIP-seq derived sequences centred on the summit of binding
|
|
101 regions that are expected to contain a dominant motif and possibly secondary motifs.
|
|
102
|
|
103 There is **no need to mask sequence for repetitive sequence** as factors may
|
|
104 legitimately bind repetitive sequence.
|
|
105
|
|
106 **Use both strands of sequence** by default, unless there is a specific reason not
|
|
107 to do so.
|
|
108
|
|
109 **Species to use for background comparison** should match the genome used to
|
|
110 generate the **input sequence**. The background genome motif frequencies are
|
|
111 generated from within the promoter regions of annotated genes and are shown to be a
|
|
112 good background for both promoter and other regulatory regions.
|
|
113
|
|
114 **Use the ChIP-seq heuristic** (-chipseq) when there are a large number of
|
|
115 input sequences (hundreds or thousands). When -chipseq is used Weeder will use
|
|
116 only oligos from the first 100 sequences to build motifs with which it scans
|
|
117 all of the input sequences. This speeds up the computational time without too much
|
|
118 risk of losing important motifs. Even if not strictly necessary it's advisable to
|
|
119 order input sequences by their significance, e.g. fold enrichment or Pvalue. For
|
|
120 large data sets (-top) should be set to a number equating at least 10 to 20% of
|
|
121 input sequences (as recommended by the authors).
|
|
122
|
|
123 **Number of discovered motifs to report** (-maxm) limits the number of reported
|
|
124 motifs even if there are more than -maxm. **Number of top scoring motifs to build
|
|
125 occurrences matrix profiles and outputs for** (-b) changes the number of top
|
|
126 scoring motifs of length 6, 8 and 10 for which the occurrence matrix is built.
|
|
127 Increasing -b may result in a larger number of reported motifs, but with potentially
|
|
128 more of low significance and increases the computational time. If increasing -b does
|
|
129 not result in more motifs in your results it means that the additional motifs are
|
|
130 filtered out by the redundancy filter or that the maximum number of reported motifs
|
|
131 set by -maxm has been reached.
|
|
132
|
|
133 **Similarity threshold for the redundancy filter** (-sim) default setting is
|
|
134 recommended.
|
|
135
|
|
136 **Number of expectation maximization (EM) cycles to perform** (-em) default is
|
|
137 recommended. The option is included to help "clean up" the resulting motif matrices.
|
|
138 In this version the number of EM steps can be increased, which can be useful for
|
|
139 motifs with highly redundant stretches of sequence.

|
|
145 **A note on the results**
|
|
146
|
|
147 The resulting matrices are the result of scanning (by default both strands) for
|
|
148 oligos of length 6, 8 and 8, allowing 1, 2 and 3 substitutions respectively. The
|
|
149 matrices within the matrix.w2 file can be input into other tools. The recommended
|
|
150 next step is to use **STAMP** (http://www.benoslab.pitt.edu/stamp/), which displays
|
|
151 the motifs as logos and identifies matches with libraries of known DNA binding
|
|
152 motifs, such as TRANSFAC or JASPAR.
