  2. Phylogenetic footprinting • A technique used to identify TFBS within a non-coding region of DNA of interest by comparing it to the orthologous sequences in different species (1988 by Tagle) • The function and DNA binding preferences of transcription factors are well-conserved between diverse species • Important non-coding DNA sequences that are essential for regulating gene expression will show differential selective pressure. (A slower rate of change occurs in TFBS than in other parts of the non-coding genome)

  3. Phylogenetic footprinting

  4. Phylogenetic footprinting • Not all conserved sequences are under selection pressure • To eliminate false positives, statistical analysis must be performed that the motifs reported have a mutation rate meaningfully less than that of the surrounding nonfunctional sequence.

  5. Mixture selective pressure • Maintain the function of the protein encoded by the gene (AA selecvtive pressure) • Maintain their regulatory role (CRUNCS) – ex: regulatory factors binding sites

  6. Methods • Sequence conservation: • Entropy score • Parsimony score • Conservation p-value (mixture models) • Posterior distributions of conservation scores • Conditional p-values

  7. Parsimony V.S. Entropy Score

  8. Fitch’s algorithm
