The two track display the detected regions at each location on the chromosome for the NRSF-enriched sample, chip, and aligned them to the de novo discovered motif binding sites. If you have not gone through the steps for peak detection and motif discovery, these tracks will not be available.

The Genome Viewer Chromosome View opens to a whole-chromosome view of chromosome 1. To analyze the data we can zoom in on the data (Figure 6).

There are four methods for zooming in and out in the Genome Viewerin Chromosome View(1) Select () to activate Zoom/Navigate Mode. With this mode selected, left-clicking and drawing a box on a track will zoom to the region in the box. (2) Use the mouse scroll wheel (3) Select the zoom in () and zoom out () on the zoom controls (). Selecting () resets the zoom to whole chromosome. (4) Use the slider on the zoom controls (). (5) Zoom to a location or gene by typing the coordinates or gene name in the Navigation bar () and pressing Enter on your keyboard. (5) Starting on a spreadsheet, right-click a row with region information, and select Browse to Location

NEUROD1 contains a binding site for the NRSF motif. Notice that the enriched region for the NRSF transcription factor is within the NEUROD1 gene. As discussed in the Johnson et al. paper, NRSF is implicated in the repression of NEUROD1, but it was unknown exactly where the NRSF binding occurred. This data indicates that the binding site is within the NEUROD1 gene itself, as shown by the orange box in the Regions track. We can zoom in further to view the forward and reverse strand read histogram.
