Recently, many computational methods have been proposed to jointly account for DNA sequence and shape properties in TFBSs prediction. However, these methods fail to fully utilize the latent features derived from both sequence and shape profiles and have limitation in interpretability and knowledge discovery. To this end, we present a novel Deep Convolution Attention network combining Sequence and Shape, dubbed as D-SSCA, for precisely predicting putative TFBSs. Experiments conducted on 165 ENCODE ChIP-seq datasets reveal that D-SSCA significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art methods in predicting TFBSs, and justify the utility of channel attention module for feature refinements. Besides, the thorough analysis about the contribution of five shapes to TFBSs prediction demonstrates that shape features can improve the predictive power for transcription factors-DNA binding. Furthermore, D-SSCA can realize the cross-cell line prediction of TFBSs, indicating the occupancy of common interplay patterns concerning both sequence and shape across various cell lines. The source code of D-SSCA can be found at
