Discovery of cell-type specific DNA motif grammar in cis-regulatory elements using random Forest

Abstract Background It has been observed that many transcription factors (TFs) can bind to different genomic loci depending on the cell type in which a TF is expressed in, even though the individual TF usually binds to the same core motif in different cell types. How a TF can bind to the genome in s...
