CENTIPEDE beta – Inference of TF Binding Sites

CENTIPEDE beta

:: DESCRIPTION

CENTIPEDE is a method developed by Roger Pique-Regi and Jacob Degner that uses PWM information plus experimental data such as DNase1, histone marks or FAIRE to infer transcription factor binding sites with high specificity. CENTIPEDE applies a hierarchical Bayesian mixture model to infer regions of the genome that are bound by particular transcription factors. It starts by identifying a set of candidate binding sites (e.g., sites that match a certain position weight matrix (PWM)), and then aims to classify the sites according to whether each site is bound or not bound by a TF. CENTIPEDE is an unsupervised learning algorithm that discriminates between two different types of motif instances using as much relevant information as possible.
