Extended Data Fig. 2: Genomic footprints are reproducible, overlap evolutionarily constrained nucleotides, and are enriched for TF recognition sequences.
From: Global reference mapping of human transcription factor footprints

a, Motif density is associated with footprint strength. Plotted is the overlap of motif recognition sequence matches (P < 0.0001) with nucleotides ranked by footprint P value from CD19+ B cells. b, As in a, but for per-nucleotide evolutionary conservation (phyloP). c, Scatter plot of per-nucleotide footprint P values for replicate experiments from the same cell line (NAMALWA Burkitt’s lymphoma cells). All individual nucleotides within FDR 1% footprints in either replicate were considered for correlation analysis. d, As in c, but for replicates of the same primary cell (CD8+ T cells) between two distinct individuals. e, Pearson’s correlation between replicates pairs grouped by whether they were derived from the same cell and individual (n = 43) or were the same primary cell or tissue from different individuals (n = 111). Boxes indicate median and inner quartile-range (IQR). Whiskers, 5th and 95th percentile.
