Hi @Manolis1 Please see the tools in the group “Motif Tools”. Galaxy EU [https://usegalaxy.eu](https://usegalaxy.eu) has a few more tool options than Galaxy Main [https://usegalaxy.org](https://usegalaxy.org). Screenshot for EU: ![motif-tools-usegalaxy-eu](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/galaxy/original/2X/1/11014eb783d40e5bb5c36b76a19f87128480fa55.png) Depending on how your motif was generated/formatted already, you may be able to go straight to the `FIMO` tool. There are many more motif discovery/analysis tools in the [ToolShed](http://usegalaxy.org/toolshed) that could be installed into your [own Galaxy server](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/example-step-by-step-for-a-basic-local-galaxy-install-with-an-admin-account-created/1451/2). Some of those are also likely hosted by other public servers. There isn’t a good way to batch search by tool against all of them (yet!), so you would just need to review to see if any of the servers have tools that meet your needs: [https://galaxyproject.org/use/](https://galaxyproject.org/use/) Others might know more about the best tool/s or public server/s to use … so more replies are welcomed. --- _[View the full topic](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/search-for-a-certain-motif-in-a-set-of-promoters/2518)._
