ChIP-seq is rapidly becoming a common technique and there are a large number of dataset available in the public domain. Results from individual experiments provide a limited understanding of chromatin interactions, as there is many factors cooperate to regulate transcription. Unlike other tools that designed for single dataset, ChIPseeker is designed for comparing profiles of ChIP-seq datasets at different levels.
We provide functions to compare profiles of peaks binding to TSS regions, annotation, and enriched functional profiles. More importantly, ChIPseeker incorporates statistical testing of co-occurrence of different ChIP-seq datasets and can be used to identify co-factors.
