+**What it does**

+
+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.
