Identify predicted TF targets by binding motif

Hello,

I am using Chromvar on single nuclei multiome data to identify possible transcription factors acting in my cell clusters of interest. This tends to work very well as I get an output of over represented motifs in the clusters, based on the accessibility around genes that each clusters shows.

My question is, how can I identify from the dataset which genes within my cluster of interest it’s picking up specifically as being accessible.

For example, a TF like SOX2 comes back as a potential regulator in stem cells. How would I go about finding which genes in the Stem cells SOX2 is predicted to bind to.

Thanks

Do you get any information about the motif enrichment and which genes are associated with that motif in a cluster ? If not, you may want to do an MSA in MEME with the promoters of all the genes in the cluster and check against the custom motifs you found using Chromvar.

I get information about which motif is enriched in the cluster (and which TF binds to it), but I cant see which genes have that motif. But I will look in MEME. Thank you!
