Benchmarking CUT&RUN analysis using motif enrichment

Background. Cleavage under targets and release using nuclease (CUT&RUN) maps the genome-wide locations of chromatin-associated proteins and provides an improved alternative to chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) for profiling sequence-specific transcription factor binding sites. Identifying these binding sites plays a critical role in understanding gene regulation, and…
