System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables researchers to retrieve and interpret transcription factor binding profiles from JASPAR, enabling rapid identification of potential TF binding sites in DNA sequences and facilitating motif-based analyses.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Search & retrieve JASPAR TF binding profiles and matrices via REST API to support motif discovery.
  • PWM/PFM conversion & analysis: convert PFMs to PWMs and interpret binding affinities for target sequences.
  • Sequence scanning: detect potential transcription factor binding sites on forward and reverse strands across user-provided sequences.
  • Use Case: interpret regulatory variants by assessing motif disruption or creation in GWAS or fine-mapping contexts.

Quick Start

Scan a DNA sequence with a JASPAR matrix to identify potential transcription factor binding sites.
