Abstract

The genome-wide DNA-protein-binding data, DNA sequence data and gene expression data represent complementary means to deciphering global and local transcriptional regulatory circuits. Combining these different types of data can not only improve the statistical power, but also provide a more comprehensive picture of gene regulation. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical model to augment protein-DNA-binding data with gene expression and DNA sequence data when available. We specify a hierarchical Bayes model and use Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations to draw inferences. Both simulation studies and an analysis of an experimental data set show that the proposed joint modeling method can significantly improve the specificity and sensitivity of identifying target genes as compared with conventional approaches relying on a single data source.
