A sequence motif is a pattern of nucleotides, and they are notated in a
similar fashion to regular expressions for text. Unlike regular
expressions, they are mostly used to describe a recurring or conserved
pattern, not so much to search for it. Sequence logos are a graphical
representation of such motifs or sequence patterns, indicating possible
sequences and the relative frequency of each possible letter.
