Automated incorporation of pairwise dependency in transcription factor binding site prediction using dinucleotide weight tensors.

Gene regulatory networks are ultimately encoded by the sequence-specific binding of (TFs) to short DNA segments. Although it is customary to represent the binding specificity of a TF by a position-specific weight matrix (PSWM), which assumes each position within a site contributes independently to t...
