Cancer CRC: A Comprehensive Cancer Core Transcriptional Regulatory Circuit Resource and Analysis Platform.

ABSTRACT: A core transcriptional regulatory circuit (CRC) is a group of interconnected auto-regulating transcription factors (TFs) that form loops and can be identified by super-enhancers (SEs). Studies have indicated that CRCs play an important role in defining cellular identity and determining cellular fate. Additionally, core TFs in CRCs are regulators of cell-type-specific transcriptional regulation. However, a global view of CRC properties across various cancer types has not been generated. Thus, we integrated paired cancer ATAC-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq data for specific cell lines to develop the Cancer CRC (http://bio.liclab.net/Cancer_crc/index.html). This platform documented 94,108 cancer CRCs, including 325 core TFs. The cancer CRC also provided the "SE active core TFs analysis" and "TF enr
