(1/13) Excited to share the outcome of the IBIS Challenge! The IBIS challenge united dozens of teams across the world in tackling the problem of modeling transcription factor (TF) binding specificity using a diverse collection of experimental datasets for understudied human TFs.

(1/8) 🚀 Excited to share our findings on a large-scale ChIP-seq assay for 166 previously uncharacterized human transcription factors (TFs) and their roles in both regulatory regions, and more strikingly, the “dark matter” genome. 🌌 doi.org/10.1101/2024....

Extensive binding of uncharacterized human transcription factors to genomic dark matter

Most of the human genome is thought to be non-functional, and includes large segments often referred to as “dark matter” DNA. The genome also encodes hundreds of putative and poorly characterized tran...
