High resolution models of transcription factor-DNA affinities improve in vitro and in vivo binding predictions. by Phaedra Agius, Aaron Arvey, William Chang, William Stafford Noble, Christina Leslie

“…Accurately modeling the DNA sequence preferences of transcription factors (TFs), and using these models to predict in vivo genomic binding sites for TFs, are key pieces in deciphering the regulatory code. These efforts have been frustrated by the limited availability and accuracy of TF binding site motifs, usually represented as position-specific scoring matrices (PSSMs), which may match large numbers of sites and produce an unreliable list of target genes. …”
