Transcription factor binding site orientation and order are major drivers of gene regulatory activity

Abstract The gene regulatory code and grammar remain largely unknown, precluding our ability to link phenotype to genotype in regulatory sequences. Here, using a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) of 209,440 sequences, we examine all possible pair and triplet combinations, permutations and ori...
