Abstract:Transcription factor proteins control the temporal and spatial expression of genes by binding specific regulatory elements, or motifs, in DNA. Mapping a transcription factor to its motif is an important step towards defining the structure of transcriptional regulatory networks and understanding their dynamics. The information to map a transcription factor to its DNA binding specificity is in principle contained in the protein sequence. Nevertheless, methods that map directly from protein sequence to target DNA… Show more
