**What it does**

http://meme.sdsc.edu/meme/doc/dreme.html

DREME (Discriminative Regular Expression Motif Elicitation) finds relatively short motifs (up to 8 bases) fast, and can perform discriminative motif discovery if given a negative set, consisting of sequences unlikely to contain a motif of interest that is however likely to be found in the main ("positive") sequence set. If you do not provide a negative set the program shuffles the positive set to provide a background (in the role of the negative set).

The input to DREME is one or two sets of DNA sequences. The program uses a Fisher Exact Test to determine significance of each motif found in the postive set as compared with its representation in the negative set, using a significance threshold that may be set on the command line.

DREME achieves its high speed by restricting its search to regular expressions based on the IUPAC alphabet representing bases and ambiguous characters, and by using a heuristic estimate of generalised motifs' statistical significance.
