This page contains collections of motifs and modules from published papers or on-line motif databases.
Note that there is a substantial degree of overlap between some of the collections.
Import motif collection from file
Right-click on the link of a collection below and select "Save Target As..." (Internet Explorer) or "Save Link As..." (Firefox) from the context menu to
save the collection file to your local file system. Go to MotifLab and select "Add New ⇒ Motif Collection" from the Data-menu.
In the collection dialog, go to the "Import" tab and press the "Browse" button to locate the file you just saved. The format should be "MotifLabFormat".
Import motif collection from URL
Right-click on the link of a collection below and select "Copy Shortcut..." (Internet Explorer) or "Copy Link Location..." (Firefox) from the context menu.
Go to MotifLab and select "Add New ⇒ Motif Collection" from the Data-menu.
In the collection dialog, go to the "Import" tab and paste the URL link you just copied into the "File or URL" textbox (using CTRL+V in Windows
or ⌘+V on Mac). The format should be "MotifLabFormat".

Motifs from the 2016 update of the popular JASPAR collection.
The full collection contains all motifs from both the CORE collection and the specialized collections,
including duplicate models for updated motifs. For instance, the model "MA0003" is included in three versions "MA0003.1", "MA0003.2" and "MA0003.3". Since MotifLab does not
allow dots in motif identifiers, the dots have been replaced by underscores (e.g. "MA0003_3").
The CORE and specialized collections only contain the latest version of each motif, and the version suffix has been stripped from the identifiers (but the original identifier with suffix is kept in the property "JASPAR").

HOCOMOCO v10
Human
Mouse
Combined
|
A collection of 641 human and 427 mouse mononucleotide count matrices from the HOCOMOCO motif database (version 10, September 2015).
Each motif has a "PWM quality" rating from "A" (best) to "D" (worst) or alternatively the letter "S" to denote secondary (mostly single-box)
models (thus allowing two models for the same TF). All the motifs for both human and mouse have identifiers on the format "Mnnnnn", where the 5-digit incremental number starts at 01001.
In the combined collection, the human motif identifiers have been renamed to start with the prefix "MH" and the mouse motifs start with "MM" to avoid overlapping identifiers.

CIS-BP
renamed
|
CIS-BP is a meta-collection which includes binding motifs from several other collections, such as Transfac, Jaspar, HOCOMOCO and other publications.
5099 motif models in all, although many represent duplicates of the same TFs.
The "renamed" collection is identical to the regular collection except that the motif identifiers (originally on the form "Mnnnn") have been changed to "CISBPnnnn".
