“…The development of in vitro methods produced new experimental information on protein binding to DNA, which is accumulated in databases and used in studies of mechanisms regulating gene expression and in the development of computer-assisted methods of binding site recognition in pro- and eukaryotic genomes. However, it is still questionable to what extent sequences selected in vitro reflect the actual structures of natural transcription factor (TF) binding sites. …”
