Systematic analysis reveals critical parameters for distinguishing biologically relevant binding sites in gene expression.

Identifying the acceptable distance from the transcription start site is crucial for reducing subjectivity in TF binding studies.
Validation with independent data shows that biologically relevant binding events effectively recruit RNA Polymerase II to regulate gene expression.
The two-state mechanistic model helps discern between spurious and biologically relevant binding events, improving reproducibility.
Our approach predicts that over 70% of TF-target interactions may be spurious, highlighting the importance of accurate binding site identification.

Pillai et al. (2025) studied this question.
