For each TF binding profile in the JASPAR database CORE collection, genomes were scanned for matches.
For the computation of relative scores and p-values, we used PWMScan (Ambrosini et al. 2018). -We selected TFBS predictions with a PWM relative score ≥ 0.8 and a p-value < 0.05. -P-values were scaled between 0 (corresponding to a p-value of 1) and 1000 (p-value ≤ 10-10) +We selected TFBS predictions with a PWM relative score ≥ 0.8 and a p-value < 0.05. +P-values were scaled between 0 (corresponding to a p-value of 1) and 1000 (p-value ≤ 10-10) for colouring of the genome tracks and to allow for comparison of prediction confidence between different profiles.

The JASPAR 2026 update expanded the JASPAR CORE collection by 12% (306 added or upgraded profiles), culminating to a set of 2633 non-redundant TF binding profiles. Genome sequences were scanned with JASPAR 2026 CORE TF binding profiles for each taxon independently using PWMScan. -TFBS predictions were selected with a PWM relative score ≥ 0.8 and a +TFBS predictions were selected with a PWM relative score ≥ 0.8 and a p-value < 0.05.

The JASPAR 2024 update expanded the JASPAR CORE collection by 20% (329 added and 72 upgraded profiles). The new profiles were introduced after manual curation, in which 26 629 TF binding motifs were curated and obtained as PFMs or discovered from ChIP-seq/-exo or DAP-seq data. 2500 profiles from JASPAR 2022 were revised to either promote them to the CORE collection, update the associated metadata, or remove them because of validation inconsistencies or poor quality. The JASPAR database stores and focuses mostly on PFMs as the model of choice for TF-DNA interactions.
