List of known transcription factor binding sites along with the type of transcription factors (activator/repressor) in hg19 genome

Hi All,

Is there a compiled list available somewhere with known transcription factor binding sites along with transcription factor name and type of transcription factors. I am particularly looking for transcriptional repressor binding sites in the exonic regions.

transcripion factors exon binding

What standard are we using for "known". Do you just want places with apparent binding (in which case just go with the answer from tangming2005, or do you want known-functional binding?

The thing is that encode is cell line data and I am working with Blueprint data which has different cell types mostly blood cells. I needed to know which of the sites are most reliable and remain unchanged across different tissues/cell types. So even the predicted ones would do if they are well curated.

ENCODE has a lot of ChIP-seq data, you can just use the peak bed file to intersect (bedtools) with the exon sequences to see what binds there.

You could take JASPAR PWMs and search with FIMO. This gives you positions for JASPAR TF binding sites, which you can map against ChIP-seq data, exons, or other constrained genomic regions taken from other annotation datasets, using BEDOPS tools like bedops --element-of or bedmap to do fast set operations.
