While we have abundant data for transcription factor (TF) binding sites and TF expression at the mRNA level, our knowledge of TFs at the protein level and their DNA-binding activities is sparser. Here, the authors address this by using the catTFRE approach to profile active TFs in 24 adult and 8 fetal mouse tissues, and presenting the TF networks in major mouse organs.
