Description

JASPAR

Position frequency matrix

PFMs from the JASPAR database

DAMO

Position weight matrix

Modified DiMO program that outputs PWMs instead of PFMs

DAMO_PFM

Position frequency matrix

PFMs derived from the DAMO single-nucleotide PWMs

DAMO_dinuc

Position weight matrix

The adjacent di-nucleotide mode of DAMO

DNAshapedTFBS_4bit

Gradient boosting classifier

DNAshapedTFBS with 4-bit encoding

DNAshapedTFBS_4bit + shape

Gradient boosting classifier

DNAshapedTFBS_4bit plus DNA shape features

Shape_only

Gradient boosting classifier

The feature vector contains only DNA shape features

JASPAR + shape

Gradient boosting classifier

JASPAR PFM score plus DNA shape features

DAMO + shape

Gradient boosting classifier

DAMO single-nucleotide PWM score plus DNA shape features
