Genome-wide prediction of transcription factor binding sites using an integrated model

Abstract

We present an integrated method called Chromia for the genome-wide identification of functional target loci of transcription factors. Designed to capture the characteristic patterns of transcription factor binding motif occurrences and the histone profiles associated with regulatory elements such as promoters and enhancers, Chromia significantly outperforms other methods in the identification of 13 transcription factor binding sites in mouse embryonic stem cells, evaluated by both binding (ChIP-seq) and functional (RNA interference knockdown) experiments.

  • Prior work has shown minimal variation in performance between chromosomes on the ENCODE problem, so training and test distributions can be approximated as identical.

    “Prior work has shown that there is minimal variation in performance between chromosomes on this problem (Won et al., 2010; Alipanahi et al., 2015; Keilwagen et al., 2019), so we can approximate these training and test distributions as identical.”

    From WILDS: A Benchmark of in-the-Wild Distribution Shifts (2020) · cites this paper as Won et al., 2010

    The Results section, “Leave-one-chromosome-out cross-validation” (page unavailable), says that each chromosome was held out for testing in turn, but does not report whether performance varied minimally between chromosomes. The passages found on chromosome-wise performance also do not establish that the training and test distributions were identical; the paper’s evaluation described here used mouse embryonic stem-cell data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
