| Shrnutí: | The most comprehensive analysis to date of models of transcription-factor binding specificity reveals the best methods for predicting
in vivo
binding from
in vitro
data.
Genomic analyses often involve scanning for potential transcription factor (TF) binding sites using models of the sequence specificity of DNA binding proteins. Many approaches have been developed to model and learn a protein's DNA-binding specificity, but these methods have not been systematically compared. Here we applied 26 such approaches to
in vitro
protein binding microarray data for 66 mouse TFs belonging to various families. For nine TFs, we also scored the resulting motif models on
in vivo
data, and found that the best
in vitro
–derived motifs performed similarly to motifs derived from the
in vivo
data. Our results indicate that simple models based on mononucleotide position weight matrices trained by the best methods perform similarly to more complex models for most TFs examined, but fall short in specific cases (<10% of the TFs examined here). In addition, the best-performing motifs typically have relatively low information content, consistent with widespread degeneracy in eukaryotic TF sequence preferences. |
