ReMap Database

Overview

ReMap 2022 is an integrative database of transcription factor (TF), cofactor, and chromatin regulator binding sites derived from uniformly reprocessed ChIP-seq experiments. The 2022 release catalogs 165 million non-redundant peaks from 8,113 ChIP-seq datasets covering 1,210 TFs across human (hg38/hg19), mouse (mm10), Drosophila, and Arabidopsis genomes. All peaks are called with a consistent pipeline from public GEO/ArrayExpress experiments. Access is via the ReMap 2022 REST API at https://remap2022.univ-amu.fr/api/ and bulk BED file downloads; no authentication required.

When to Use

• Finding all TFs with ChIP-seq peaks overlapping a genomic region of interest (e.g., a GWAS SNP locus or candidate enhancer)
• Retrieving TF peaks near a gene's transcription start site to map its proximal regulatory landscape
• Listing all TFs available in ReMap for human or mouse with their peak and dataset counts
• Filtering ChIP-seq peaks by regulatory biotype annotation (promoter, enhancer, exon, intron, intergenic) for a TF in a specific cell line
• Downloading a BED file of all binding peaks for a TF across all cell types for offline analysis
• Identifying co-binding TFs at a locus by querying all overlapping peaks and grouping by TF name
• Use jaspar-database instead when you need PWM/PFM sequence models of TF binding specificity rather than ChIP-seq peak locations
• For ENCODE-specific regulatory tracks and accessibility data use encode-database; ReMap aggregates TF binding peaks from many sources including ENCODE

Prerequisites

• Python packages: requests, pandas, matplotlib
• Data requirements: genomic coordinates (GRCh38/hg38 or hg19), gene names, or TF names
• Environment: internet connection; no API key required
• Rate limits: no official published limits; use time.sleep(0.5) between batch requests to avoid server overload
• Note: The ReMap API is a research API; endpoint availability may vary. All examples include a BED download fallback.

Key Concepts

Peak Name Field Format

The name field in every ReMap peak record encodes three pieces of information as a colon-separated string:

TF_NAME:EXPERIMENT_ID:CELL_TYPE

For example: CTCF:GSE30263.SRX028592:GM12878

Always parse with .split(":") and guard against missing parts. Some records may have fewer than three components if metadata is incomplete.

Assemblies

Assembly code	Organism	Notes
hg38	Homo sapiens (GRCh38)	Primary human assembly in ReMap 2022
hg19	Homo sapiens (GRCh37)	Legacy human assembly; fewer datasets
mm10	Mus musculus	Primary mouse assembly
dm6	Drosophila melanogaster	Smaller dataset collection
tair10	Arabidopsis thaliana	Plant TF dataset

BED File Download (API Fallback)

When the REST API is unavailable or for offline bulk analysis, ReMap provides pre-built BED files at https://remap2022.univ-amu.fr/download_page. Key files:

• remap2022_all_macs2_hg38_v1_0.bed.gz — all peaks, hg38 (large, ~5 GB)
• remap2022_{TF}_macs2_hg38_v1_0.bed.gz — per-TF peak files
• remap2022_crm_macs2_hg38_v1_0.bed.gz — cis-regulatory modules (merged peaks)

Key Parameters

Parameter	Endpoint	Default	Range / Options	Effect
chr	/peaks/overlap/	—	chr1–chrX, chrY, chrM	Chromosome for region query (include chr prefix)
start	/peaks/overlap/	—	Integer genomic coordinate	Region start (0-based)
end	/peaks/overlap/	—	Integer genomic coordinate	Region end (exclusive)
assembly	All endpoints	—	hg38, hg19, mm10, dm6, tair10	Genome assembly for coordinates and peak lookup
gene	/peaks/gene/	—	HGNC gene symbol (e.g., TP53, MYC)	Queries peaks near the gene's annotated TSS
name	/tfbs/name/	—	TF name as in ReMap (e.g., CTCF, SP1)	TF name is case-sensitive; match ReMap TF naming
biotype	/peaks/biotype/	—	promoter, enhancer, exon, intron, intergenic, UTR	Filters peaks by Ensembl regulatory biotype
timeout	All requests	30	Integer seconds	Increase to 60–120 for large gene/TF queries

Best Practices

1. Parse the name field defensively: The TF:experiment:cell_type format may have fewer than three components for some records. Always guard with parts[n] if len(parts) > n else "".

2. Use BED downloads for genome-wide analyses: Querying large genomic regions or all peaks for a TF via the REST API can time out. For whole-genome or per-chromosome scans, download the per-TF or per-assembly BED files from the ReMap download page and filter locally with pandas or bedtools.

3. Cross-reference with JASPAR for sequence evidence: ReMap peaks show where TF binding was detected by ChIP-seq (positional evidence); JASPAR PWMs show what sequence the TF prefers (motif evidence). For robust regulatory annotation, require both: a ReMap peak in the region AND a JASPAR motif hit within the peak.

4. Use time.sleep(0.5) in batch loops: The ReMap API serves a research community; polite request pacing prevents throttling.

5. Validate assembly coordinates: ReMap 2022 hg38 peaks use 0-based half-open BED coordinates ([start, end)). When comparing with VCF or 1-based GFF coordinates, add 1 to start.

Common Recipes

Recipe: Find TFs Binding at a GWAS SNP

When to use: Prioritize functional candidates from a GWAS hit by identifying which TFs bind at the SNP location.

import requests

REMAP_API = "https://remap2022.univ-amu.fr/api/v1"

def tfs_at_snp(chrom, pos, window=500, assembly="hg38"):
    """Find TFs with ChIP-seq peaks overlapping a SNP position ± window bp."""
    r = requests.get(f"{REMAP_API}/peaks/overlap/", params={
        "chr": chrom, "start": pos - window, "end": pos + window,
        "assembly": assembly
    }, timeout=30)
    r.raise_for_status()
    peaks = r.json()
    tfs = {}
    for p in peaks:
        parts = p.get("name", "::").split(":")
        tf = parts[0] if parts else "unknown"
        tfs[tf] = tfs.get(tf, 0) + 1
    return dict(sorted(tfs.items(), key=lambda x: -x[1]))

# Example: rs2736100 (TERT locus, chr5:1,286,401)
snp_tfs = tfs_at_snp("chr5", 1_286_401, window=500, assembly="hg38")
print(f"TFs at TERT GWAS SNP (±500 bp): {len(snp_tfs)}")
for tf, count in list(snp_tfs.items())[:10]:
    print(f"  {tf:<20s} {count:3d} peaks")

Recipe: Export Region Peaks as BED

When to use: Export ReMap query results to BED format for downstream bedtools intersection or IGV visualization.

import requests, pandas as pd

REMAP_API = "https://remap2022.univ-amu.fr/api/v1"

def export_region_as_bed(chrom, start, end, outfile, assembly="hg38"):
    """Query ReMap region and save as 6-column BED file."""
    r = requests.get(f"{REMAP_API}/peaks/overlap/", params={
        "chr": chrom, "start": start, "end": end, "assembly": assembly
    }, timeout=30)
    r.raise_for_status()
    peaks = r.json()
    rows = [{
        "chr":   p.get("chr",   p.get("chrom", "")),
        "start": p.get("start", 0),
        "end":   p.get("end",   0),
        "name":  p.get("name",  "."),
        "score": p.get("score", 0),
        "strand": p.get("strand", "."),
    } for p in peaks]
    df = pd.DataFrame(rows)
    df = df.sort_values(["chr", "start"])
    df.to_csv(outfile, sep="\t", header=False, index=False)
    print(f"Saved {len(df)} peaks to {outfile}")
    return df

export_region_as_bed("chr17", , , )

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Solution
404 Not Found from API	Endpoint path changed or unavailable	Check https://remap2022.univ-amu.fr/api/ for current endpoint list; fall back to BED download
Empty JSON list [] from region query	No peaks in region, or assembly mismatch	Verify coordinates are on the correct assembly; try a wider window (±10 kb)
Gene query returns empty	Gene symbol not recognized by ReMap	Try Ensembl gene symbol; some aliases are not mapped — verify with HGNC
requests.exceptions.Timeout	Large region or slow server	Increase timeout=60; for regions >1 Mb use BED file download instead
name field has only one component	Incomplete metadata in ReMap for that experiment	Guard with parts[n] if len(parts) > n else "unknown"
BED download 404	Per-TF files use exact ReMap TF naming	Check TF name case and spelling at https://remap2022.univ-amu.fr/download_page
Duplicate peaks for same TF	Multiple experiments per TF in a cell type	Group by tf_name and count unique experiments; deduplicate peaks with bedtools merge
