A comparative analysis of ENCODE and Cistrome in the context of TF binding signal by Perna, Stefano, Pinoli, Pietro, Ceri, Stefano, Wong, Limsoon

“…Results: We provide evidence that data points with high signalValue(s) (top 25% of values) are more likely to be consistent between ENCODE and Cistrome in human cell lines K562, GM12878, and HepG2. In addition, we show that filtering according to said high values improves the quality of predictions for a machine learning algorithm that detects transcription factor interactions based only on positional information. …”
