What it does

Annotate genomic regions with regulatory function predictions

Best for

Linking noncoding variants or peaks to biological function without training custom classification models.

Inputs
  • · Genomic coordinates (BED)
  • · Chromatin accessibility data (ATAC-seq, DNase)
Outputs
  • · Regulatory element classification (promoter, enhancer, silencer)
  • · TF binding predictions
Requires
  • · ENCODE blacklist
  • · JASPAR
  • · FIMO
  • · chromVAR
Preconditions
  • · Reference genome
  • · Chromatin data (optional)
Failure modes
  • · Enhancer-gene assignment ambiguous (shadow enhancers)
  • · TF motif false positives high
Trust signals
  • · ENCODE regulatory standards
  • · JASPAR motif database
  • · Multi-modality integration
