What it does

Aggregate histone ChIP-seq data across replicates and conditions

Best for

Creating robust consensus histone modification profiles by aggregating multiple ChIP-seq replicates

Inputs
  • · peak files (narrowPeak/broadPeak)
  • · bigwig signal files
Outputs
  • · merged peak set
  • · aggregated signal tracks
Requires
  • · bedtools
  • · deeptools
  • · MACS2
Preconditions

Aligned BAM files or peak calls from MACS2

Failure modes
  • · Replicate QC issues
  • · Batch effects not removed
  • · Signal normalization artifacts
Trust signals
  • · Standard tools (bedtools, deeptools, MACS2)
