## Description

These tracks display binding sites of specific transcription factors in the ENCODE cell types, as identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing.

## Display Conventions

These tracks are multi-view composite tracks that contains multiple data types (views). For each view, there are multiple subtracks that display individually on the browser. Each view within each track has separate display controls, as described here. The views associated with these tracks include:
Peaks:
Sites with the greatest evidence of transcription factor binding.
Raw Signal:
A continuous signal which indicates density of aligned reads.

## Credits

These data were generated and analyzed as part of the ENCODE project, a genome-wide consortium project with the aim of cataloging all functional elements in the human genome. This effort includes collecting a variety of data over a specific set of cell types. Consequently, data related to these tracks be available under ENCODE tracks.

## Data Release Policy

Data users may freely use ENCODE data, but may not, without prior consent, submit publications that use an unpublished ENCODE dataset until nine months following the release of the dataset. This date is listed in the Restricted Until column on the track configuration page and the download page. The full data release policy for ENCODE is available here.
