A ChIP-Seq benchmark shows that sequence conservation mainly improves detection of strong transcription factor binding sites.

BACKGROUND: Transcription factors are important controllers of gene expression and mapping transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) is key to inferring transcription factor regulatory networks. Several methods for predicting TFBS exist, but there are no standard genome-wide datasets on which to ass...
