Mitotic chromosome binding predicts transcription factor properties in interphase

Mammalian transcription factors (TFs) differ broadly in their DNA binding properties. Here authors quantify mitotic chromosome binding (MCB) of 501 TFs and suggest that MCB can be used as a proxy for non-specific TF-DNA interactions that regulate TF search for specific genomic sites.
