Abstract
Summary: Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing is widely used to find transcription factor binding sites, but suffers from various sources of noise. Knocking out the target factor mitigates noise by acting as a negative control. Paired wild-type and knockout (KO) experiments can generate improved motifs but require optimal differential analysis. We introduce peaKO-a computational method to automatically optimize motif analyses with KO controls, which we compare to two other methods. PeaKO often improves elucidation of the target factor and highlights the benefits of KO controls, which far outperform input controls.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
