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.

Chromatin states define tumour-specific T cell dysfunction and reprogramming

TL;DR: It is shown that T cells in mouse tumours differentiate through two discrete chromatin states: a plastic dysfunctional state from which T cells can be rescued, and a fixed dysfunctional state in which the cells are resistant to reprogramming.

Bump hunting to identify differentially methylated regions in epigenetic epidemiology studies.

TL;DR: A data analysis pipeline is presented that effectively models measurement error, removes batch effects, detects regions of interest and attaches statistical uncertainty to identified regions, and shows that addressing unexplained heterogeneity like batch effects reduces the number of false-positive regions.

A Single-Cell Atlas of In Vivo Mammalian Chromatin Accessibility

TL;DR: By intersecting mouse chromatin accessibility with human genome-wide association summary statistics, this work identifies cell-type-specific enrichments of the heritability signal for hundreds of complex traits.

Distinct emt programs control normal mammary stem cells and tumour-initiating cells

TL;DR: It is shown that normal gland-reconstituting mammary stem cells residing in the basal layer of the mammary epithelium and breast TICs originating in the luminal layer exploit the paralogous EMT-TFs Slug and Snail, respectively, which induce distinct EMT programs.

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.
