## Overview

This super-track combines related tracks of genome-wide ChIP-chip data generated by the Ludwig Institute/UC San Diego ENCODE group. These tracks show TAF1 binding in fibroblastoid (IMR90) cells as assayed by ChIP-chip using a NimbleGen microarray.

TAF1, a protein found at the start of transcribed genes, is a general transcription factor that is a key part of the pre-initiation complex found on the promoter. It is more fully known as TBP-associated factor 1 of the TFIID complex or by its molecular weight as TAF250.

The raw data from these experiments are available from GEO GSE2672.

## Credits

The data for these tracks were generated at the Ren Lab, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at UC San Diego.
