Abstract:

Identifying the true transcriptional factor binding sites is a essential step for understanding the gene regulation. In this paper, we proposed a new approach to identify transcriptional factor binding sites in ChIP datasets when the number of sequences with motif is unknown. Our method is designed to control the false selection rate (FSR), defined as the proportion of sequences without motifs included in the selected sequence sets, in the meantime optimize the PWM. To characterize the performance of our method, we added a known number of background sequences to the real ChIP dataset. A motif discovery procedure is applied to the mixed dataset. The PWM is updated through monitoring the proportion of background sequences falsely selected.
