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.

Integrative analysis of chromatin states in Arabidopsis identified potential regulatory mechanisms for natural antisense transcript production.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that cytosine methylation (5mC) and histone methylation H3K36me may synergistically repress production of natural antisense transcripts (NATs) in the context of actively expressed genes is proposed.

An NF-κB Transcription-Factor-Dependent Lineage-Specific Transcriptional Program Promotes Regulatory T Cell Identity and Function

TL;DR: This work conditionally deleted canonical NF-κB members p65 and c-Rel in developing and mature Treg cells and found they have unique but partially redundant roles and underscores the need for more selective strategies to therapeutically target NF-σκB.

The R-loop is a common chromatin feature of the Arabidopsis genome.

TL;DR: In this article, a single-strand DNA ligation-based library preparation technique for genome-wide identification of R-loops is proposed, which exhibits high efficiency, low bias and strand specificity.

Expression2Kinases: mRNA Profiling Linked to Multiple Upstream Regulatory Layers

TL;DR: The X2K approach can advance the understanding of cell signaling and unravel drugs mechanisms of action by integrating chromatin immuno-precipitation data, protein-protein interactions and kinase-substrate phosphorylation reactions, and can better identify regulatory mechanisms upstream of genome-wide differences in gene expression.

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.
