JASPAR CORE
The JASPAR CORE database contains a curated, non-redundant set of profiles, derived from published collections of experimentally defined transcription factor binding sites for eukaryotes. The prime difference to similar resources (TRANSFAC, etc.) consist of the open data access, non-redundancy and quality.

Here you can download XML files for each of the Transcription Factor Flexible Models (TFFMs). For each TFFM there is both a 1st-order and a detailed model each of which is described in a separate XML file.
- TFFM.tar.gz: This tar file contains XML files for each of the Transcription Factor Flexible Models (TFFMs)
- TFFM_table.csv: This file contains additional information about each TFFMs
TFFM_table.csv gives additional information about each TFFM. It contains the following columns:
- TFFM ID - the unique ID of the TFFM including version number
- PFM ID - the JASPAR matrix ID of the profile used initially to train the TFFM
- TF Name - name of the transcription factor
- ChIP-seq file - name of the ChIP-seq peak data file used to train the TFFM
- 1st-order log(p) - log(p-value) of the 1st-order TFFM model
- Detailed log(p) - log(p-value) of the detailed TFFM model
For more detailed documentation about TFFMs please see: http://www.cisreg.ca/TFFM/doc

JASPAR CNE
JASPAR CNE is a collection of 233 matrix profiles derived by Xie et al. (PNAS 2007) by clustering of overrepresented motifs from human conserved non-coding elements. While the biochemical and biological role of most of these patterns is still unknown, Xie et al. have shown that the most abundant ones correspond to known DNA-binding proteins, among them is the insulator-binding protein CTCF.
When should it be used? When characterizing of regulatory inputs in long-range developmental gene regulation in vertebrates.

JASPAR FAM
The JASPAR FAM database consist of models describing shared binding properties of structural classes of transcription factors. These types of models can be called familial profiles, consensus matrices or metamodels. The models have two prime benefits: 1) Since many factors have similar target sequences, we often experience multiple predictions at the same locations that correspond to the same site. This type of models reduce the complexity of the results. 2) The models can be used to classify newly derived profiles (or project what type of structural class its cognate transcription factor belongs to).
When should it be used? When searching large genomic sequences with no prior knowledge. For classification of new user-supplied profiles.

JASPAR PBM
All the PBM collections are built by using new in-vitro techniques, based on k-mer microarrays. PBM matrix models have their own database which is specialized for the data: UniPROBE. The PBM collection is the set derived by Badis et al (Science 2009) from binding preferences of 104 mouse transcription factors.

The PBM HLH collection is the set derived by Grove et al (Cell 2008). It holds 19 C. elegans bHLH transcription factor models.
When should it be used? Where it is important that each matrix was derived using the same protocol, focusing on bHLH factors.

JASPAR PHYLOFACTS
The JASPAR PHYLOFACTS database consists of 174 profiles that were extracted from phylogenetically conserved gene upstream elements. See Xie et al., Systematic discovery of regulatory motifs in human promoters and 3' UTRs by comparison of several mammals., Nature 434, 338-345 (2005) and supplementary material for details.
When should it be used? The JASPAR PHYLOFACTS matrices are a mix of known and as of yet undefined motifs. They are useful when one expects that other factors might determine promoter characteristics, such as structural aspects and tissue specificity. They are highly complementary to the JASPAR CORE matrices, so are best used in combination with this matrix set.

JASPAR POLII
The JASPAR POLII database consists of models describing patterns found in RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoters. Some of these correspond to a known protein (like the TATA box), while some has no specific interactor (like DPE). Models are taken from published literature or public databases.
