Predicting transcription factor site occupancy using DNA sequence intrinsic and cell-type specific chromatin features

Background: Understanding the mechanisms by which transcription factors (TF) are recruited to their physiological target sites is crucial for understanding gene regulation. DNA sequence intrinsic features such as predicted binding affinity are often not ve ...
