Hi!

I am trying to run findMotif.pl from HOMER, in order to detect some regulatory motifs in a set of fasta sequences. When I type:

findMotifs.pl sequences.fasta hg19 .

I get the following error:

!!! hg19 not found in /mnt/lustre/scratch/home/programs/HOMER/.//config.txt
        Try typing "perl /mnt/lustre/scratch/home/programs/HOMER//.//configureHomer.pl -list" to see available promoter sets
        If avaliable, type "perl /mnt/lustre/scratch/home/programs/HOMER//.//configureHomer.pl -install hg19" to install

I have executed those commands and now this is my config.txt file:

# Homer Configuration File (automatically generated)
#
# This file is updated from the Homer website and contains information about data available for
# use with the program.
#
# Each section has the same format, which is <tab> separated values specifying:

So, actually hg19 does exist in my config.txt file.

Additionally, I have checked HOMER data directory and it has all neccessary files:

/mnt/lustre/scratch/home/programs/HOMER/data/genomes/hg19

How can I solve this?

Did you end up figuring this out? I ran into the same error

No, I didn't. If you figure it out I would be so grateful to get some information

I don't know if this will still help anyone or if you figured out a way by now. For me (working with fly data) it helped to just type 'fly' instead of any other identifier (not fly-p, not dm6) that was previously used to install the packages. So in your case 'human' might work.
