Software for motif discovery and next generation sequencing analysis



HOMER (Hypergeometric Optimization of Motif EnRichment) is a suite of tools for Motif Discovery and ChIP-Seq analysis. It is a collection of command line programs for unix-style operating systems written in mostly perl and c++. Homer was primarily written as a de novo motif discovery algorithm that is well suited for finding 8-12 bp motifs in large scale genomics data.

Hardware Requirements (recommended): 2+ Gb memory (4-8+ Gb), 10+ Gb Hard Drive space (50+ Gb)
Software Requirements: Unix compatible OS (or cygwin), perl, gcc, make, wget (optional for full functionality: R, DESeq2, blat, bedGraphToBigWig, liftOver)
License: GPLv3

HOMER works on pretty much any Linux/UNIX systems, including MacOS (if Xcode compilers are installed) and on Windows using either cygwin or a Linux subsystem.

If you are looking specifically for HOMER2, you are in the right place! HOMER2 is integrated into HOMER.

Here’s a practical guide to understanding and finding Pimsleur Russian transcripts, including what they are, why they’re useful, legal access options, and alternative DIY methods.


Option A: User-Created Transcripts (Free)

Search these places:

  • Reddit – r/Pimsleur, r/russian – search “Pimsleur Russian transcript.”
  • Anki Shared Decks – some decks include sentences from Pimsleur.
  • Language forums – How-to-learn-any-language.com, LingQ (user uploads).

4. DIY Transcription Services (The Pro Move)

If you cannot find a clean copy for your specific level (e.g., Pimsleur Russian Level 4), you can use AI. Tools like Whisper from OpenAI (free) or Otter.ai can transcribe the audio files into Russian Cyrillic text. You will need the MP3s (which you legally own via your purchase), but this method yields a 90% accurate, customizable transcript. Pimsleur russian transcript

What Exactly is a Pimsleur Russian Transcript?

A Pimsleur Russian transcript is a written document that captures every word spoken in the Pimsleur audio lessons. It includes:

  • The introductory dialogue (usually a conversation between two native speakers).
  • The narrator’s prompts (e.g., “Say, ‘I want to go to the restaurant.’”).
  • The expected student responses.
  • Vocabulary lists from each unit.

There are two types of transcripts available: Here’s a practical guide to understanding and finding

  1. Official Transcripts: Historically, Pimsleur sold booklets (Digital Manuals) that included transcripts, notes, and reading lessons. In the modern app (Pimsleur Premium), these are often integrated as “Reading Lessons” or digital PDFs.
  2. Unofficial/User-Made Transcripts: Created by learners like you. These can be found on language learning forums (Reddit’s r/russian, How-to-Learn-Any-Language forums), GitHub repositories, or shared via Google Drive. These are often the most detailed but vary in accuracy.

Step-by-step:

  1. Play 2–3 seconds of audio → pause.
  2. Write the Russian in Cyrillic (recommended) or transliteration.
  3. Add English translation below or next to it.
  4. Note key grammar hints (e.g., “говори́те – formal ‘you speak’”).

Example format (Lesson 1, Pimsleur Russian):

| Russian (Cyrillic) | Transliteration | English | Notes | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Извини́те | Izviníte | Excuse me / Sorry | Formal/polite form | | Вы говори́те по-ру́сски? | Vy govoríte po-rússki? | Do you speak Russian? | “Вы” = formal “you” | | Я не говори́ю по-ру́сски. | Ya ne govoryú po-rússki. | I don’t speak Russian. | “не” = negation | | Вы говори́те по-англи́йски? | Vy govoríte po-anglíyski? | Do you speak English? | “по-английски” = in English | | Немно́го | Nemnógo | A little | | | Пожа́луйста | Pozhálusta | Please / You’re welcome | Also “here you go” | | Спаси́бо | Spasíbo | Thank you | | the audio is copyrighted


The Legal and Ethical Gray Area

You might be wondering: Is downloading a fan-made transcript illegal? Technically, the audio is copyrighted, but the words spoken (phrases like "Hello, how are you?") are not copyrightable. Most language learning experts agree that sharing a transcript of the content (as text) is a fair use educational resource, provided you own the original audio course.

To stay safe: Never pay for a transcript from a random website (many are scams containing malware). And never upload the audio files publicly. Use transcripts to support your legitimate purchase of the Pimsleur course.

The configuration script really doesn't deal with older versions, but you can download older versions yourself should you really feel like using inferior data or software!
