An expanded codebook of human transcription factor DNA-binding specificity

Gene expression is regulated by transcription factors (TFs), which recognize specific DNA sequence motifs. Several hundred putative human TFs, identified mainly by an apparent DNA-binding domain, lack known binding motifs1. Furthermore, even for well-characterized TFs, it remains controversial the degree to which motif...

GHT-SELEX demonstrates unexpectedly high intrinsic sequence specificity and complex DNA binding of many human transcription factors

There is ongoing debate regarding the degree to which transcription factors (TFs) independently specify genomic binding: TF binding motifs are typically short and degenerate, yielding many more binding site predictions than observed in cells. Here we present genomic high-throughput SELEX (GHT-SELEX)—a scalable method t...
