### Examples

    ## By minimum IC:
    jaspar <- read_jaspar(system.file("extdata", "jaspar.txt",
                                      package = "universalmotif"))
    jaspar.ic10 <- filter_motifs(jaspar, icscore = 10)

    ## By organism:
    ## Not run:
    library(MotifDb)
    motifs <- convert_motifs(MotifDb)
    motifs <- filter_motifs(motifs, organism = c("Athaliana", "Mmusculus"),
                            extrainfo = c("dataSource" = "cisbp_1.02"))
