The stand-alone TF Profiler application can be found on github (https://github.com/Dowell-Lab/TF_profiler) and Zenodo [76]. TF Profiler takes an annotation file for bidirectional regions from a nascent sequencing experiment and derives a TF activity profile. This includes generating simulated sequences based on the base composition of the regions provided, scanning for PSSM hits within the genome and statistically assessing TF enrichment and depletion.

AbstractTranscription by RNA polymerases is an exquisitely regulated step of the central dogma. Transcription is the primary determinant of cell-state, and most cellular perturbations impact transcription by altering polymerase activity. Thus, detecting changes in polymerase activity yields insight into most cellular processes. Nascent run-on sequencing provides a direct readout of polymerase activity, but no tools exist to model this activity at genes.
