In its latest release, Ensembl has completely reviewed its reporting of potential Transcription Factor (TF) binding sites. TF proteins are key players of gene expression regulation that bind to specific DNA regions characterised by approximate sequence patterns, or transcription factor binding motifs (TFBM). These motifs are generally represented as a Position Specific Frequency Matrix, or Binding Matrix. Ensembl scans genomes for occurrences of these motifs, reporting Motif Features at each possible location.
