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.

Opposing macrophage polarization programs show extensive epigenomic and transcriptional cross-talk

TL;DR: It is found that IFN-γ and IL-4 mutually inhibited the epigenomic and transcriptional changes induced by each cytokine alone, providing a core mechanistic framework for the integration of signals that control macrophage activation in complex environmental conditions.

Selectivity of ORC binding sites and the relation to replication timing, fragile sites, and deletions in cancers.

TL;DR: The origin recognition complex (ORC) binds sites from which DNA replication is initiated, and mapping binding sites in human cells shows that ORC binds selectively to open (DNase I-hypersensitive) regions containing active chromatin marks such as H3 acetylation and H3K4 methylation.

Single cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analysis of cardiac progenitor cell transition states and lineage settlement

TL;DR: It is shown that CPC fate transitions are associated with distinct open chromatin states critically depending on Isl1 and Nkx2-5, and provides a model of transcriptional and epigenetic regulations during cardiac progenitor cell fate decisions at single-cell resolution.

Efficient derivation of stable primed pluripotent embryonic stem cells from bovine blastocysts.

TL;DR: It is reported that stable bovine ESCs can be efficiently derived in a culture condition based on Wnt-pathway inhibition and these well-characterized ESC lines will enrich the understanding of pluripotency programs in the ungulate species but also will provide a useful resource for the creation of transgenic ungulates models of human diseases.

Shark genomes provide insights into elasmobranch evolution and the origin of vertebrates

TL;DR: A thorough genome annotation revealed Hox C genes previously hypothesized to have been lost, as well as distinct gene repertories of opsins and olfactory receptors that would be associated with adaptation to unique underwater niches, and provided insights on the molecular basis of adaptation to underwater lifestyle and the evolutionary origins of vertebrates.

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.
