MOTIVATION
The availability of numerous ChIP-seq datasets for transcription factors (TF) has provided an unprecedented opportunity to identify all TF binding sites in genomes. However, the progress has been hindered by the lack of a highly efficient and accurate tool to find not only the target motifs, but also cooperative motifs in very big datasets.
RESULTS
We herein present an ultra-fast and accurate motif-finding algorithm, ProSampler, based on a novel numeration method and Gibbs sampler. ProSampler runs orders of magnitude faster than the fastest existing tools while often more accurately identifying motifs of both the target TFs and cooperators. Thus, ProSampler can greatly facilitate the efforts to identify the entire cis-regulatory code in genomes.
AVAILABILITY
Source code and binaries are freely available for download at https://github.com/zhengchangsulab/prosampler. It was implemented in C ++ and supported on Linux, macOS and MS Windows platforms.
