Determining biological relevance of a list of motifs?

Question

[Ronin]

I have used the findMotifs.pl function in Homer to get a series of motif sites. I am curious if there is any recommended workflows or resources that might be helpful to help determine any biological relevance these motifs might have. For example, lets say that I have 8 motifs that were found to be significant in eye samples:

KLF3(Zf)/MEF-Klf3-ChIP-Seq(GSE44748)
GSC(Homeobox)/FrogEmbryos-GSC-ChIP-Seq(DRA000576)
bcd(Homeobox)/Embryo-Bcd-ChIP-Seq(GSE86966)
Otx2(Homeobox)/EpiLC-Otx2-ChIP-Seq(GSE56098)
CRX(Homeobox)/Retina-Crx-ChIP-Seq(GSE20012)
Sox7(HMG)/ESC-Sox7-ChIP-Seq(GSE133899)
Rfx1(HTH)/NPC-H3K4me1-ChIP-Seq(GSE16256)
Pax7(Paired,Homeobox),long/Myoblast-Pax7-ChIP-Seq(GSE25064)

Similar to running a GO analysis of a list of genes, I am hoping there might be a related resource available for determining what biological significance these 8 motifs might provide. I recently found Jaspar2020, though I am not sure if that will help me or not. Thank you in advance for any thoughts or suggestions you might have.

Can you give details on the experimental setup and what exactly you scanned for motif enrichment (and what the background was)?

[Ronin]

Hi, sorry for the late response, I was ill. The setup is looking at a particular tissue (eye samples) in a non-model species, and I used this command:

findMotifsGenome.pl macs2.eye_ATAC.bed /scratch/ATACseq/FASTQ_ATAC_43955/pfluv-genome/pfluv-genome.fa ./motifs/macs2/eye -p 4 -size given

So I'm taking the peaks (bed file), the genome, and then the output directory, etc. following that. After getting a motif file, I ran:

scanMotifGenomeWide.pl /scratch/ATACseq/FASTQ_ATAC_43955/sortedbams/picard/knownEyeTop5.motif /scratch/ATACseq/FASTQ_ATAC_43955/pfluv-genome/pfluv-genome.fa -bed > eye-all-motifsites.bed

If you have critiques or suggestions (perhaps this is the wrong approach), I am very curious to know how to correct these errors!
