Strategies for BSTF map construction. Two strategies for constructing maps of binding sites rely on a matrix search for experimentally defined binding sites for transcription factors (BSTF). The first strategy (refined map path) is used to verify the exact location and size of the experimental sites. A second strategy (consistent map path) takes into account both the presence of the experimentally verified sites and the matrix score of found matches. The initial map is the raw footprint data from a literature source.
