Modelling the evolution of transcription factor binding preferences in complex eukaryotes
Abstract Transcription factors (TFs) exert their regulatory action by binding to DNA with specific sequence preferences. However, different TFs can partially share their binding sequences due to their common evolutionary origin. This “redundancy” of binding defines a way of organizing TFs in “motif...
