Such regions are then investigated for overrepresented sequence motifs, the assumption being that they must correspond to the binding specificity of the profiled protein. However this approach often fails: many bound regions do not contain the `expected' motif. This is because binding DNA directly at its recognition site is not the only way the protein can cause the region to immunoprecipitate. Its binding specificity can change through association with different co-factors, it can bind DNA indirectly, through intermediaries, or even enforce its function through long-range chromosomal interactions. Conventional motif discovery methods, though largely capable of identifying overrepresented motifs from bound regions, lack the ability to characterize such diverse modes of protein-DNA binding and binding specificities. We present a novel Bayesian method that identifies distinct protein-DNA binding mechanisms without relying on any motif database. The method successfully identifies co-factors of proteins that do not bind DNA directly, such as mediator and p300. It also predicts literature-supported enhancer-promoter interactions. Even for well-studied direct-binding proteins, this method provides compelling evidence for previously uncharacterized dependencies within positions of binding sites, long-range chromosomal interactions and dimerization.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8.808

A step forward has been the production of genome-wide maps of transcription start sites (TSSs) using high-throughput sequencing. However, the subsequent step of characterizing promoters and their functions is still largely done on the basis of previously established promoter-elements like the TATA-box in eukaryotes or the -10 box in bacteria. Unfortunately, a majority of promoters and their activities cannot be explained by these few elements. Traditional motif discovery methods that identify novel elements also fail here, because TSS neighborhoods are often highly heterogeneous containing no overrepresented motif. We present a new, organism-independent method that explicitly models this heterogeneity while unraveling different promoter-architectures. For example, in five bacteria, we detect the presence of a pyrimidine preceding the TSS under very specific circumstances. In tuberculosis, we show for the first time that the spacing between the bacterial 10-motif and TSS is utilized by the pathogen for dynamic gene-regulation. In eukaryotes, we identify several new elements that are important for development. Identified promoter-architectures show differential patterns of evolution, chromatin structure and TSS spread, suggesting distinct regulatory functions. This work highlights the importance of characterizing heterogeneity within high-throughput genomic data rather than analyzing average patterns of nucleotide composition.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15.67
