# Overview

For a brief explanation of sequence motifs, see the Introduction to sequence motifs vignette. This broadly covers the different ‘types’ of motif representation, and establishes the nomenclature used by the `universalmotif` package.

The capabilities of the `universalmotif` package can be divided into several general categories. These are briefly demonstrated in the following vignettes:

- Motif import, export, and manipulation
- Sequence scanning and manipulation
- Motif comparisons and P-values
