Abstract Comprehensive mapping of transcription factor binding sites is essential in postgenomic biology. For this we propose a mining approach combining noisy data from ChIP chromatin immunoprecipitation -chip experiments with known binding site patterns. Our method BoCaTFBS uses boosted cascades of classifiers for optimum efficiency in which components are alternating decision trees it exploits interpositional correlations and it explicitly integrates massive negative information from ChIP-chip experiments. We applied BoCaTFBS within the ENCODE project and showed that it outperforms .
