There is an enrichment of cic binding sites in the known
enhancers for this set of genes
Combinatorial representation
of spatial expression patterns
Data mining: Identifying primitives
Primitives reflect inductive signals
Shvartsman et al. 2008
Operations are used to construct more complex patterns
Input:
primitives
The geometric models provide a framework to connect inductive
signals to gene regulation

Classic experiments and binding site clustering models have provided ~100 cis
regulatory modules (CRMs) for the early embryonic patterning. ChIP experiments,
with chromatin marks and evolutionary signatures, can be used to predict
additional CRMs
