MACS (version 1.0.1)
default: 2.7e+9
default: 1e-5
up to 9X more time consuming
up to 9X more time consuming
The default method only consider the peak location, 1k, 5k, and 10k regions in the control data; whereas the new future method also consider the 5k, 10k regions in treatment data to calculate local bias.

What it does

This tool allows ChIP-seq peak calling using MACS.

Depending upon selected options, 2 to 6 history items will be created; the first output will be a standard BED file and the last will be an HTML report containing links to download additional files generated by MACS. Up to two each of wig and interval files can be optionally created; the interval files are parsed from the xls output.
