One of the best tool for ChIPseq analysis along with downstream analysis till Motif searching and many more.

This is by far best tool for ChIP seq. Thank you so much authors.

Homer is one of the best available motif discovery software suite on the internet, especially for next-generation sequencing. I highly recommend it.


An amazing tool suite !!! Indispensable !
Orginally created for motif discovery from .fasta file or peak file, you can also use it to compare peaks between different experiments. Better than bedtools because it gives you all details, ideal to create Venn diagrams. You can also use it to extract DNA sequences from regions. This is the swiss knife for genomics !!!!

A suite offering a lot of tool, especially for ChIP-sequencing (motif detection, peak overlap, QC...)
