STRs are a case study in the importance of sequence context and low-affinity binding! We hope our work inspires others to think beyond TF motifs! (9/11)

By analyzing published protein-binding microarray data, we predict that 90% of eukaryotic TFs bind at least one type of STR above background, suggesting that STRs (which are enriched in enhancers!) function as regulatory sequences. (8/11)
