PERFECTOS-APE software predicts possible regulatory role of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) or polymorphisms (SNPs). The main idea is that SNVs may be located directly within transcription factor binding sites and different SNV alleles can change binding affinity.
PERFECTOS-APE efficiently tests SNVs against several collections of transcription factor binding site (TFBS) models represented as position weight matrices (PWM, PSSM).
Web interface allows testing SNVs against several publically available TFBS models: HOCOMOCO, JASPAR, HT-SELEX, SwissRegulon, and HOMER.
