MotifPeeker

MotifPeeker benchmarks epigenomic profiling methods targeting transcription factors by analyzing motif enrichment as a key metric when no gold standard reference exists.

Key Features:

• Motif Enrichment Analysis: Evaluates known motif enrichment as a primary benchmarking metric for comparing epigenomic profiling methods.
• De Novo Motif Discovery: Performs de novo motif discovery to identify novel motifs in the analyzed data.
• General Metrics Reporting: Generates summary metrics to compare performance across profiling methods.
• Automated Report Generation: Produces an HTML report containing all benchmarking results from a single function call with minimal input.

Scientific Applications:

• Transcription Factor Profiling Benchmarking: Compares epigenomic profiling methods targeting transcription factors in the absence of established reference standards.
• Method Comparison: Enables systematic evaluation of different experimental or computational approaches for epigenomic data generation.

Methodology:

MotifPeeker analyzes motif enrichment using minimal input data processed through a single function that outputs an HTML report.
