How can I use FIRE?
IGET: Use FIRE online
FIRE is the motif discovery component of IGET, an integrated platform for exploring large-scale gene expression and protein behavior dynamics. Use IGET to discover motifs, pathways, and interactions.
FIRE can be downloaded and installed on a Unix (or Cygwin) machine. Click here to download FIRE. Here is a release log and recently fixed bugs.
FIRE comes with pre-packaged sequence data for many well-studied organisms (release log). You can download data for:
- worm (C. elegans; WBcel235/ce11; transcript or gene identifiers) [sequence files updated 2020-04]
- mouse (M. musculus; mm10) [sequence files updated 2020-02]
- human (H. sapiens; hg38) [sequence files updated 2017-01]
- human (H. sapiens) [motif names updated 2010-10]
- mouse (M. musculus) [motif names updated 2010-10]
- yeast (S. cerevisiae)
- pombe (fission yeast: S. pombe)
- bayanus (S. bayanus) (made by Konrad Karczewski, Princeton)
- calbicans (C. albicans)
- malaria (P. falciparum )
- drosophila (D. melanogaster) [motif names updated 2010-10]
- worm (C. elegans) [motif names updated 2010-10]
- chicken (G. gallus) [motif names updated 2010-10]
- rat (R. norvegicus) (kindly donated by Bernd Jagla, Columbia) [motif names updated 2010-10]
- ciona (sea squirt: C. intestinalis)
- arabidopsis (A. thaliana) [motif names updated 2010-10]
- poplar (P. trichocarpa)
- rice (O. sativa)
- ecoli_tu (E. coli transcription units) (made by Hani Goodarzi, Princeton)
If your favorite organism is not in the list and you would like us to add it, please contact us. You can also analyze your own sequences using the command line program (see tutorial or contact us for more details).
FIRE is a powerful program, with many options and many output files. Click here for a tutorial on how to install and use FIRE.
FIRE can also be used online. Click here for the online FIRE application (created by Bambi Tsui, Princeton).
