README for BART(1.0.3)IntroductionBART (Binding Analysis for Regulation of Transcription) is a bioinformatics tool for predicting functional transcription factors (TFs) that bind at genomic cis-regulatory regions to regulate gene expression in the human or mouse genomes, given a query gene set or a ChIP-seq dataset as input. BART leverages over 7,000 human TF binding profiles and over 5,000 mouse TF binding profiles from the public domain (collected in Cistrome Data Browser) to make the prediction.BART is implemented in Python and distributed as an open-source package along with necessary data libraries.BART is developed and maintained by the Chongzhi Zang Lab at the University of Virginia.# Installation
#### PrerequisitesBART uses Python’s distutils tools for source installation. Before installing BART, please make sure Python3 (Python 3.3 or higher is recommended) is installed in the system, and the following python packages are installed:setuptoolsnumpypandasscipy#### Install the full package (All data included, requires at least 15GB hard drive storage in the installation directory)To install a source distribution of BART, unpack the distribution tarball and open up a command terminal. Go to the directory where you unpacked BART, and simply run the install script an install BART globally or locally. For example, if you want to install the package BART-v1.0.2-py3-full.tar.gz:`shell $ tar zxfBART-v1.0.2-py3-full.tar.gz$ cdBART-v1.0.2-py3-full`Install with root/administrator permission (by default, the script will install python library and executable codes globally):`shell $ python setup.py install `If you want to install everything under your own directory, for example, a directory as /path/to/bart/, use these commands:`shell $ mkdir-p/path/to/bart/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages$ exportPYTHONPATH=/path/to/bart/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH$ python setup.py install--prefix/path/to/bart $ exportPATH=/path/to/bart/bin/:$PATH`In this value, X.Y stands for the major–minor version of Python you are using (such as 3.5 ; you can find this with sys.version[:3] from a Python command line).Configure environment variablesYou’ll need to add those two lines in your bash file (varies on each platform, usually is~/.bashrcor~/.bash_profile) so that you can use the BART command line directly:`shell $ export PYTHONPATH="/path/to/bart/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH"$ exportPATH="/path/to/bart/bin/:$PATH"`#### Install from source package without data libraries (recommended)You can download the Human or Mouse Data Library separately under your own directory. In this case, you have to edit the config file (e.g. BART1.0.1/BART/bart.conf) after you unpack the source package to provide the directory for the data. For example, if you download the hg38_library.tar.gz (or mm10_library.tar.gz) and unpack it under /path/to/library, then you can modify the bart.conf file as:hg38_library_dir = /path/to/library/Then you can run the install script and install BART source package globally or locally same as the full package described above.# Tutorial

For each TF, we have rank dot plot, which shows the rank position and rank significance of this TF in all TFs (derived from the Irwin-Hall P-value score inname_bart_results.txt), and the cumulative distribution plot, which compares the distribution of ROC-AUC scores from datasets of this TF and the scores of all datasets (derived from the AUC scores inname_auc.txt).
