Data • 41 diverse cell and tissue types 14.9 billion reads, 11.2 billion unique reads ~273 million reads / cell-type • Raw Data: GSE26328 and GSE18927 • Processed data: ftp://ftpprivate.ebi.ac.uk/ Login:encode-box-01 Password:enc*deDOWN
Regulatory DNA is populated with DNase I footprints footprints: DNA segments protected by proteins that are not sensitivity to DNase I enzyme
Distinguishing indirect transcription factor occupancy Directly bound sites: ChIP-seq peaks containing a compatible footprinted motif Indirectly bound sites : ChIP-seq peaks lacking a compatible motif or footprint Colour of each cell: indirect peaks that co-localize with the direct peaks of another factor
Summary • DNase I footprints are importantly related to TFs’ binding pattern and intensity • A 50-bp footprint help to locate TSS • Footprints can recovery TF’s motif and identify novel regulatory element
