System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides programmatic access to the JASPAR database, enabling researchers to retrieve transcription factor binding profiles (PFMs/PWMs) and scan DNA sequences for binding sites, streamlining regulatory sequence analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Profile Retrieval: Fetch Position Frequency Matrices (PFMs) and Position Weight Matrices (PWMs) for specific transcription factors (TFs) by name, ID, species, or TF family.
  • Sequence Scanning: Scan DNA sequences for predicted TF binding sites (TFBS) using downloaded PWMs.
  • Data Export: Generate motif libraries in standard formats like MEME for downstream analysis.
  • Use Case: Identify all binding sites for the CTCF transcription factor within a given promoter region by downloading its PWM from JASPAR and scanning the sequence.

Quick Start

Use the jaspar-database skill to find all JASPAR CORE profiles for Homo sapiens.
