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.

Latent Enhancers Activated by Stimulation in Differentiated Cells

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe latent enhancers, regions of the genome that in terminally differentiated cells are unbound by TFs and lack the histone marks characteristic of enhancers but acquire these features in response to stimulation.

Combinatorial transcriptional control in blood stem/progenitor cells: Genome-wide analysis of ten major transcriptional regulators

TL;DR: The power of genome-wide analysis of complex binding patterns and combinatorial interactions for ten key regulators of blood stem/progenitor cells is reported, providing the most comprehensive TF data set for any adult stem/ Progenitor cell type to date.

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.
