JASPAR is a data package that provides programmatic access to transcription factor (TF) binding profiles from the JASPAR database.
This package integrates all major JASPAR releases (latest: 2026) and exposes curated position frequency matrices (PFMs), deep learning-based TF binding models, and associated genomic annotations for computational and experimental genomics research.
JASPAR has provided open-access, manually curated, and non-redundant DNA binding profiles for TFs for over 20 years.
This R package mirrors the content of the main JASPAR database and makes it programmatically accessible for downstream analyses in R/Bioconductor pipelines.
You can install the package from this repository:
# install.packages("remotes")
