MetArea: a software package for analysis of the mutually exclusive occurrence in pairs of motifs of transcription factor binding sites based on ChIP-seq data by V. G. Levitsky, A. V. Tsukanov, T. I. Merkulova

“…The functional relation of the motifs of the two distinct TFs presumes that they are interchangeable as part of a multiprotein complex that uses the BS of these TFs to bind directly to DNA in different peaks. MetArea calculates the estimates of recognition performance pAUPRC (partial area under the Precision–Recall curve) for each of the two input single motifs, identifies the “joint” motif, and computes the performance for it too. …”
