MEME List Databases

List available motif databases on the MEME Suite server for use with FIMO motif scanning and TOMTOM motif comparison. Returns categories (Eukaryote DNA, JASPAR, HOCOMOCO, CIS-BP, etc.) with database counts, plus shortcut names for popular databases that can be used directly with the TOMTOM target_db parameter. No remote API call is needed — this returns locally cached database metadata.
