- Abstract
The identification of regulatory control regions within genomes is a major challenge. Studies have demonstrated that regulating regions can be described as locally dense clusters or modules of cis-acting transcription factor binding sites (TFBS). For well-described biological contexts, it is possible to train predictive algorithms to discern novel modules in genome sequences. However, utility of module detection methods has been severely limited by insufficient training data. For only a few tissues can one obtain sufficient numbers of literature-derived regulatory modules.
