Introduction

Hypergeometric Optimization of Motif EnRichment (HOMER) is a suite of tools for Motif Discovery and next-gen sequencing analysis. It is a collection of command line programs for UNIX-style operating systems written in Perl and C++. HOMER was primarily written as a de novo motif discovery algorithm and is well suited for finding 8-20 bp motifs in large scale genomics data. HOMER contains many useful tools for analyzing ChIP-Seq, GRO-Seq, RNA-Seq, DNase-Seq, Hi-C and numerous other types of functional genomics sequencing data sets.

Programming languages: Perl, C++
