Retrieve motif dissimilarity/distance matrix for TF motifs

getMotifDistMat(assembly = "hg38", mmObj = NULL, method = "jaspar")

Arguments

assembly

genome assembly for which the motifs dissimilarity should be retrieved. Only the species information of the assembly is really relevant. Can be "vert" for all vertebrate motifs.

mmObj

optional motifmatchr object as returned by ChrAccR::prepareMotifmatchr

method

method of dissimilarity quantification. Currently only 'jaspar' (retrieve motif similarities from the annotation of the JASPAR website) is supported.

Value

a matrix of motif DISsimilarities (dist object)
