Genes regulated by ZC3H3

Genes likely regulated by ZC3H3 through linked binding evidence in open chromatin. The chart ranks TF-linked genes by their mean Perturb-seq response to ZC3H3 knockdown, with negative coefficients indicating downregulation and positive coefficients indicating upregulation upon knockdown.

Regulatory Elements bound by the TF

Open chromatin elements (ATAC-seq) where ZC3H3 has ChIP-seq or motif footprint binding evidence and which are linked to at least one target gene region.

TFs regulating ZC3H3 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ZC3H3. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = ZC3H3 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to ZC3H3

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ZC3H3, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
