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 single-cell genomics data by coupled nonnegative matrix factorizations

TL;DR: This paper develops an approach for its solution based on the coupling of two nonnegative matrix factorizations (coupled NMF) and suggests the method should be useful for integrative single-cell genomics analysis tasks such as the joint analysis of single- Cell RNA-sequencing and single- cell ATAC- Sequencing data.

Erk1/2 Activity Promotes Chromatin Features and RNAPII Phosphorylation at Developmental Promoters in Mouse ESCs

TL;DR: Findings underscore a key role for Erk1/2 activation in promoting the primed status of developmental genes in mouse ES cells and suggest that the transcription complex at developmental genes is different than the complexes formed at other genes, offering alternative pathways of regulation.

Identification and analysis of adenine N6-methylation sites in the rice genome.

TL;DR: A map of N6-methyladenine in the rice genome is provided, its association with gene expression and 5-methylcytosine is examined and a potential demethylase for this epigenomic mark is reported.

Epigenomic landscapes of retinal rods and cones

TL;DR: The epigenomic landscapes of rods and cones are defined, revealing features relevant to photoreceptor development and function and Surprisingly, a substantial fraction of DNA hypo-methylated regions in adult rods that are not in active chromatin are found.

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.
