This super-track combines related tracks of genome-wide ChIP-chip data generated by the Ludwig Institute/UC San Diego ENCODE group. These tracks show TAF1 binding in fibroblastoid (IMR90) cells as assayed by ChIP-chip using a NimbleGen microarray.
TAF1, a protein found at the start of transcribed genes, is a general transcription factor that is a key part of the pre-initiation complex found on the promoter. It is more fully known as TBP-associated factor 1 of the TFIID complex or by its molecular weight as TAF250.
The raw data from these experiments are available from GEO GSE2672.
The data for these tracks were generated at the Ren Lab, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at UC San Diego.
