read_motifs {universalmotif} | R Documentation

## Import universalmotif formatted motifs.

### Description

Import motifs created from `write_motifs()`. For optimal storage of `universalmotif` class motifs, consider using `saveRDS()` and `readRDS()`. Currently the `universalmotif` format is YAML-based, but this is subject to change.

### Usage

    read_motifs(file, skip = 0, progress = FALSE, BP = FALSE)

### Arguments

`file` | `character(1)` File name.
`skip` | `numeric(1)` If not zero, will skip however many desired lines in the file before starting to read.
`progress` | `logical(1)` Show progress.
`BP` | `logical(1)` Allows for the use of BiocParallel within `read_motifs()`. See `BiocParallel::register()` to change the default backend.

### Value

`list` universalmotif objects.
