Cistrome-GO: a web server for functional enrichment analysis of transcription factor ChIP-seq peaks

Nucleic Acids Res. 2019 Jul 2;47(W1):W206-W211. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkz332.

Abstract

Characterizing the ontologies of genes directly regulated by a transcription factor (TF), can help to elucidate the TF's biological role. Previously, we developed a widely used method, BETA, to integrate TF ChIP-seq peaks with differential gene expression (DGE) data to infer direct target genes. Here, we provide Cistrome-GO, a website implementation of this method with enhanced features to conduct ontology analyses of gene regulation by TFs in human and mouse. Cistrome-GO has two working modes: solo mode for ChIP-seq peak analysis; and ensemble mode, which integrates ChIP-seq peaks with DGE data. Cistrome-GO is freely available at http://go.cistrome.org/.
