W-ChIPMotifs: a web application tool for de novo motif discovery from ChIP-based high-throughput data

چکیده
UNLABELLED W-ChIPMotifs is a web application tool that provides a user friendly interface for de novo motif discovery. The web tool is based on our previous ChIPMotifs program which is a de novo motif finding tool developed for ChIP-based high-throughput data and incorporated various ab initio motif discovery tools such as MEME, MaMF, Weeder and optimized the significance of the detected motifs by using a bootstrap resampling statistic method and a Fisher test. Use of a randomized statistical model like bootstrap resampling can significantly increase the accuracy of the detected motifs. In our web tool, we have modified the program in two aspects: (i) we have refined the P-value with a Bonferroni correction; (ii) we have incorporated the STAMP tool to infer phylogenetic information and to determine the detected motifs if they are novel and known using the TRANSFAC and JASPAR databases. A comprehensive result file is mailed to users. AVAILABILITY http://motif.bmi.ohio-state.edu/ChIPMotifs.

Factorbook Motif Pipeline: A de novo motif discovery and filter- ing web server for ChIP-seq peaks
Summary: High-throughput sequencing technologies such as ChIPseq have deepened our understanding in many biological processes. De novo motif search is one of the key downstream computational analysis following the ChIP-seq experiments and several algorithms have been proposed for this purpose. However, most webbased systems do not perform independent filtering or enrichment analyses to ensure t...
متن کاملA general approach for discriminative de novo motif discovery from high-throughput data
De novo motif discovery has been an important challenge of bioinformatics for the past two decades. Since the emergence of high-throughput techniques like ChIP-seq, ChIP-exo and protein-binding microarrays (PBMs), the focus of de novo motif discovery has shifted to runtime and accuracy on large data sets. For this purpose, specialized algorithms have been designed for discovering motifs in ChIP...
متن کاملAMD, an Automated Motif Discovery Tool Using Stepwise Refinement of Gapped Consensuses
Motif discovery is essential for deciphering regulatory codes from high throughput genomic data, such as those from ChIP-chip/seq experiments. However, there remains a lack of effective and efficient methods for the identification of long and gapped motifs in many relevant tools reported to date. We describe here an automated tool that allows for de novo discovery of transcription factor bindin...
متن کاملDe-Novo Discovery of Differentially Abundant Transcription Factor Binding Sites Including Their Positional Preference
Transcription factors are a main component of gene regulation as they activate or repress gene expression by binding to specific binding sites in promoters. The de-novo discovery of transcription factor binding sites in target regions obtained by wet-lab experiments is a challenging problem in computational biology, which has not been fully solved yet. Here, we present a de-novo motif discovery...
متن کاملMEME-ChIP: motif analysis of large DNA datasets
MOTIVATION Advances in high-throughput sequencing have resulted in rapid growth in large, high-quality datasets including those arising from transcription factor (TF) ChIP-seq experiments. While there are many existing tools for discovering TF binding site motifs in such datasets, most web-based tools cannot directly process such large datasets. RESULTS The MEME-ChIP web service is designed t...
