Extract 5' UTR of your genes and there are several tools you can use:
I usually use MEME but there are plenty more, see this Biostar discussion: Motif Finding / Biostar
-
I guess our workflow for this would be to use BioMart to pull out the UTR sequences and then use xxmotif to do the motif detection.
You'll need to be careful about what you use as a control set of sequences for this analysis. We'd probably use a set of 5'UTRs from genes which were reasonably well expressed in your experimental system but which didn't change. Just doing a blind motif detection will likely find many spurious matches.Leave a comment:

Finding motifs in 5' of genes
Hi,
I have a list of differentially expressed genes that I would like to search for a 5' utr motif in them.
What tool would you suggest to use or is there some kind of pipeline?
Thanks in advance,
Tamari

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
