Phylogenetic footprinting is a technique used to identify transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) within a non-coding region of DNA of interest by comparing it to the orthologous sequence in different species. When this technique is used with a large number of closely related species, this is called phylogenetic shadowing. [1]
a comprehensive collection of human and mouse transcription factor binding sites models. database: website [10] JASPAR: The JASPAR CORE database contains a curated, non-redundant set of profiles, derived from published collections of experimentally defined transcription factor binding sites for eukaryotes. database: website [11] [12] MethMotif
The TRANSFAC database can be used as an encyclopedia of eukaryotic transcription factors. The target sequences and the regulated genes can be listed for each TF, which can be used as benchmark for TFBS recognition tools or as training sets for new transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) recognition algorithms.

When the protein is a transcription factor, the enriched area is its transcription factor binding site (TFBS). Popular software programs include MACS. [2] Wilbanks and colleagues [3] is a survey of the ChIP-seq peak callers, and Bailey et al. [4] is a description of practical guidelines for peak calling in ChIP-seq data.
DNA binding sites were finally confirmed in both systems [9] [10] [11] with the advent of DNA sequencing techniques. From then on, DNA binding sites for many transcription factors, restriction enzymes and site-specific recombinases have been discovered using a profusion of experimental methods.
The DNA template labeled at the 3' or 5' end, depending on the location of the binding site(s). Labels that can be used are: radioactivity and fluorescence.Radioactivity has been traditionally used to label DNA fragments for footprinting analysis, as the method was originally developed from the Maxam-Gilbert chemical sequencing technique.
CollecTF is a database of transcription factor binding sites in the Bacteria domain. [1]CollecTF compiles only experimentally validated TF-binding sites. This is accomplished through the manual curation of peer-reviewed literature with a special focus on the experimental process used to identify TF-binding sites.
The DNA binding sites of 519 transcription factors were evaluated. [50] Of these, 169 transcription factors (33%) did not have CpG dinucleotides in their binding sites, and 33 transcription factors (6%) could bind to a CpG-containing motif but did not display a preference for a binding site with either a methylated or unmethylated CpG.
