 JASPAR 2018 used the TFBS Perl module (Lenhard and Wasserman 2002) 
 and FIMO (Grant, Bailey, and Noble 2011), as distributed within the MEME suite 
 (version 4.11.2) (Bailey <em>et al.</em> 2009). For scanning genomes with the 
 BioPerl TFBS module, profiles were converted to PWMs and matches were kept with a 
 relative score &ge; 0.8. For the FIMO scan, profiles were reformatted to MEME motifs 
 and matches with a p-value &lt; 0.05 were kept. TFBS predictions that were not 
 consistent between the two methods (TFBS Perl module and FIMO) were removed. The 
 remaining TFBS predictions were colored according 
 to their FIMO p-value to allow for comparison of prediction confidence between 
 different profiles.</p>

+JASPAR Transcription Factor Binding data includes billions of items.
+Because of the data size, the Table Browser does not allow "Genome" as a query region for this
+track. Limited regions can be explored interactively with the
 <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTables">Table Browser</a> and cross-referenced with 
 <a href="../cgi-bin/hgIntegrator">Data Integrator</a>, although positional
 queries that are too big can lead to timing out. This results in a black page
 or truncated output. In this case, you may try reducing the chromosomal query to
 a smaller window.</p>

 For programmatic access, 
 the track can be accessed using the Genome Browser's 
 <a href="../../goldenPath/help/api.html">REST API</a>. 
 JASPAR annotations can be downloaded from the
 <a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/jaspar">Genome Browser's download server</a>
 as a bigBed file. This compressed binary format can be remotely queried through
 command line utilities. Please note that some of the download files can be quite large.</p>
