Using DNA Duplex Stability Information for Transcription Factor Binding Site Discovery
Transcription factor (TF) binding site discovery is an important step in understanding transcriptional regulation. Many computational tools have already been developed, but their success in detecting TF motifs is still limited. We believe one of the main reasons for the low accuracy of current methods is that they do not take into account the structural aspects of TF-DNA interaction. We have pr...
متن کاملA Fast, Alignment-Free, Conservation-Based Method for Transcription Factor Binding Site Discovery
As an increasing number of eukaryotic genomes are being sequenced, comparative studies aimed at detecting regulatory elements in intergenic sequences are becoming more prevalent. Most comparative methods for transcription factor (TF) binding site discovery make use of global or local alignments of orthologous regulatory regions to assess whether a particular DNA site is conserved across related...
متن کاملInformative priors based on transcription factor structural class improve de novo motif discovery
MOTIVATION An important problem in molecular biology is to identify the locations at which a transcription factor (TF) binds to DNA, given a set of DNA sequences believed to be bound by that TF. In previous work, we showed that information in the DNA sequence of a binding site is sufficient to predict the structural class of the TF that binds it. In particular, this suggests that we can predict...

متن کاملNucleosome Occupancy Information Improves de novo Motif Discovery
A complete understanding of transcriptional regulatory processes in the cell requires identification of transcription factor binding sites on a genomewide scale. Unfortunately, these binding sites are typically short and degenerate, posing a significant statistical challenge: many more matches to known transcription factor binding sites occur in the genome than are actually functional. Chromati...
