A DNA motif affiliated with Ronin binding (YGGGNNNYRTAGT; Figure 4B) was typically located proximal to the transcriptional start sites (p = 1.0 × 10−15; Figure 4C), identical to the Ronin binding signature found in pluripotent stem cells (Dejosez et al., 2010), retinal progenitors (Poché et al., 2016), and cancer cells (Parker et al., 2012). Here, THAP11 is linked to cancer.
