Bias-free Footprint Enrichment Test (BiFET) is a statistical method to identify transcription factors (TFs) whose footprints are over-represented in target regions compared to background regions after correcting for differences in read counts and GC contents between target and background regions, where regions represent ATAC-seq or DNAse-seq peaks.
