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.

Single-base resolution methylomes of tomato fruit development reveal epigenome modifications associated with ripening

TL;DR: The data show that the epigenome is not static during development and may have been selected to ensure the fidelity of developmental processes such as ripening, and Crop-improvement strategies could benefit by taking into account not only DNA sequence variation among plant lines, but also the information encoded in the epigenomes.

Organization of Chromatin by Intrinsic and Regulated Phase Separation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that reconstituted chromatin undergoes histone tail-driven liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in physiologic salt and when microinjected into cell nuclei, producing dense and dynamic droplets.

Genome-wide detection of DNA double-stranded breaks induced by engineered nucleases

TL;DR: A linear amplification–mediated modification of a previously published high-throughput, genome-wide, translocation sequencing (HTGTS) method that robustly detects DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) generated by engineered nucleases across the human genome based on their translocation to other endogenous or ectopic DSBs is described.

Control of Cell Identity Genes Occurs in Insulated Neighborhoods in Mammalian Chromosomes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ESC cohesin ChIA-PET data to identify the local chromosomal structures at both active and repressed genes across the genome and reveal that super-enhancer-driven genes generally occur within chromosome structures that are formed by the looping of two interacting CTCF sites co-occupied by co-hesin.

REST and stress resistance in ageing and Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: It is shown that induction of the repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST) is a universal feature of normal ageing in human cortical and hippocampal neurons, and levels during ageing are closely correlated with cognitive preservation and longevity.

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.
