23 Background:
24 This tool computationally predicts CTCF sites for a nucleotide sequence located on the reverse strand. The user is required to provide two files as inputs. The first is the nucleotide sequence of interest on the - strand in FASTA format (this can be obtained from UCSC genome browser or Ensembl). The second file must be a FASTA formatted file containing the chromosome number and the genomic position of the last nucleotide sequence (separated by a tab). For example, if the sequence of interest is located on chromosome 3 with an ending genomic position of 1870000, the first line of the second input file must start with a fasta tag, and the second line will be chr3 1870000

26 Details of Algorithm:
27 CTCF sites are predicted by applying the following equation
28 w( ,j) = log2 (((f( ,j) + sqrt(N) x b( )) / (N + sqrt(N))) / b( ))
29
30 Where w( ,j) is the weight of nucleotide at position j, N is the total number of binding sites or the sum of all nucleotide occurrences in the column, and b is the prior background frequency of the nucleotide .
31
32 The sum of weights for corresponding nucleotides at each column of the matrix then estimates the likelihood of any sequence of length m to be an instance of a CTCF binding site and takes into account the GC content of the genomic region being scanned.
