Abstract
We present Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq data, MACS, which analyzes data generated by short read sequencers such as Solexa's Genome Analyzer. MACS empirically models the shift size of ChIP-Seq tags, and uses it to improve the spatial resolution of predicted binding sites. MACS also uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome, allowing for more robust predictions. MACS compares favorably to existing ChIP-Seq peak-finding algorithms, and is freely available.

Deregulation of DUX4 and ERG in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Jinghui Zhang, +78 more
- 01 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: A unique paradigm of transcription factor deregulation in leukemia is illustrated in which DUX4 deregulation results in loss of function of ERG, either by deletion or induced expression of an isoform that is a dominant-negative inhibitor of wild-type ERG function.

Isolation of active regulatory elements from eukaryotic chromatin using FAIRE (Formaldehyde Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements)

TL;DR: FAIRE has utility in establishing chromatin profiles of diverse cell types in health and disease, isolating DNA regulatory elements en masse for further characterization, and as a screening assay for the effects of small molecules on chromatin organization.

YAP Drives Growth by Controlling Transcriptional Pause Release from Dynamic Enhancers

TL;DR: Global chromatin occupancy analyses are utilized to demonstrate that robust YAP binding is restricted to a relatively small number of distal regulatory elements in the genome, and uncover the molecular mechanisms employed by YAP to exert its growth and oncogenic functions, and suggest strategies for intervention.

Dynamic binding of RBPJ is determined by Notch signaling status

TL;DR: This work demonstrates dynamic binding of RBPJ in response to Notch activation at essentially all sites co-occupied by NICD and identifies a distinct set of sites whereRBPJ recruits neither NICD nor p300 and binds DNA statically, irrespective of Notch activity.

High-resolution profiling of histone methylations in the human genome.

TL;DR: High-resolution maps for the genome-wide distribution of 20 histone lysine and arginine methylations as well as histone variant H2A.Z, RNA polymerase II, and the insulator binding protein CTCF across the human genome using the Solexa 1G sequencing technology are generated.

Genome-Wide Mapping of in Vivo Protein-DNA Interactions

TL;DR: A large-scale chromatin immunoprecipitation assay based on direct ultrahigh-throughput DNA sequencing was developed, which was then used to map in vivo binding of the neuron-restrictive silencer factor (NRSF; also known as REST) to 1946 locations in the human genome.

Genome-wide location and function of dna binding proteins

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for identifying a set of genes where cell cycle regulator binding correlates with gene expression and identifying genomic targets of cell cycle transcription activators in living cells is also encompassed.
