***Introduction***
The MEME suite provides online tools for discovering and using protein and
DNA sequence motifs. A motif is a pattern of nucleotides or amino acids that
appears repeatedly in a group of related DNA or protein sequences. The MEME
suite represents motifs as position-dependent scoring matrices.
The MEME suite consists of programs which allow you to:
* meme - for discovery of motifs shared by a group of sequences,
* mast - for search of databases for sequences containing these motifs,
* tomtom - for searching databases of motifs for similar motifs,
* gomo - for finding Gene Ontology terms linked to the motifs,
* glam2 - for discovery of gapped motifs,
* glam2scan - for scanning sequences with gapped motifs,
* fimo - for scanning sequences with motifs,
* mcast - for finding motif clusters,
* meme-chip - for analysis of large DNA datasets like ChIPseq output,
* spamo - for finding motif complexes by analysing motif spacing,
* dreme - for discovery of short regular expression motifs,
and that's just the web enabled tools.
You can download the C source code for MEME suite from
http://meme-suite.org/doc/download.html
You can also use the MEME suite via its website at http://meme-suite.org .

***Installation***
See `doc/install.html` for operating system requirements, prerequisite
software, and installation instructions.
***Documentation***
Documentation is available online at http://meme-suite.org/doc/overview.html
otherwise look in the `doc/` folder for `overview.html` as a place to start.
If you did installation with the `--enable-web` switch, the html documentation
will be installed with the website at `<website>/meme_<version>/doc/overview.html`.
***Problems and comments***
Please address any problems or comments to:
meme-suite@uw.edu
or
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/meme-suite
***Release Notes***
See file `<distribution-path>/doc/release-notes.html`
or after a basic install see `<install-path>/doc/release_notes.html`
or for a website install see `<website>/meme_<version>/doc/release-notes.html`
***Developers Notes***
To prepare a new release.
1. Clone from bitbucket (you have to be granted access to this mercurial repository):
> hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/tlbailey/meme
2. Create a release branch (Note: the version number is set in configure.ac using variable AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.):
> hg branch meme_VERSION
hg ci -m "Create release branch for VERSION"
3. Once you are ready to create a release candidate tag the current revision
(this is used to determine the release date and release revision):
> hg tag meme_VERSION_0
3.1. If you later have to create another release candidate after applying some
patches then move the tag so that the release date and release revision are correct:
> hg tag -f meme_VERSION_0
4. Create the example output files by building a copy of the MEME Suite, ensuring
it is first in your path, and running create_examples.pl:
> cd meme/doc/examples
./create_examples.pl
scp examples.tgz http://meme-suite.org/meme-software/example-output/examples.tgz # ok so this line doesn't really work but you should get the intent
5. To create a distribution tar ball meme_VERSION.tar.gz.
> cd meme
hg purge --all
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-web --enable-opt --enable-build-libxml2 --enable-build-libxslt
make dist
