motifcounter
https://bioconductor.org/packages/motifcounter'motifcounter' provides motif matching, motif counting and motif enrichment functionality based on position frequency matrices. The main features of the packages include the utilization of higher-order background models and accounting for self-overlapping motif matches when determining motif enrichment. The background model allows to capture dinucleotide (or higher-order nucleotide) composition adequately which may reduced model biases and misleading results compared to using simple GC background models. When conducting a motif enrichment analysis based on the motif match count, the package relies on a compound Poisson distribution or alternatively a combinatorial model. These distribution account for self-overlapping motif structures as exemplified by repeat-like or palindromic motifs, and allow to determine the p-value and fold-enrichment for a set of observed motif matches.

A seamless interface to the MEME Suite family of tools for motif analysis. 'memes' provides data aware utilities for using GRanges objects as entrypoints to motif analysis, data structures for examining & editing motif lists, and novel data visualizations. 'memes' functions and data structures are amenable to both base R and tidyverse workflows.
DiffLogo is an easy-to-use tool to visualize motif differences.
Taking a set of sequence motifs as PWMs, test a set of sequences for over-representation of these motifs, as well as any positional features within the set of motifs. Enrichment analysis can be undertaken using multiple statistical approaches. The package also contains core functions to prepare data for analysis, and to visualise results.
ChIPanalyser is a package to predict and understand TF binding by utilizing a statistical thermodynamic model. The model incorporates 4 main factors thought to drive TF binding: Chromatin State, Binding energy, Number of bound molecules and a scaling factor modulating TF binding affinity. Taken together, ChIPanalyser produces ChIP-like profiles that closely mimic the patterns seens in real ChIP-seq data.
A toolkit of high-level functions for DNA motif scanning and enrichment analysis built upon Biostrings. The main functionality is PWM enrichment analysis of already known PWMs (e.g. from databases such as MotifDb), but the package also implements high-level functions for PWM scanning and visualisation. The package does not perform "de novo" motif discovery, but is instead focused on using motifs that are either experimentally derived or computationally constructed by other tools.
