ChIP-Seq Top2 in Yeast
Contents
Introduction
This wiki page combines the two sequencing experiments of ChIP-Seq on yeast samples udring June / July 2017.
Sample quality
In the above previous analyses, we undertook some Duplicate removel as this showed up to be an issue in the FastQC quality files.
However, the effect of this removal was very low. In any case, the MACS2 program takes care of duplicates so samples were only trimmed for adapters and quality.
Alignment to the S288C Reference
Bam quality, no filtering

Alignment to the new W303 Reference
Bam quality, no filtering
First Experiment
Second Experiment
Bam quality, filtering applied
The bam files were filtered both for mapping quality and low integrity reads in the following manner:
samtools view -b -F 1820 -q 48 <INBAMFILE> -o ${OUTBAMFILE> -@ <NUMTHREADS>
First Experiment
Second Experiment
Bam quality, 2nd filtering applied
This time bam files were filtered to MAPQ 28:
samtools view -b -F 1820 -q 28 <INBAMFILE> -o ${OUTBAMFILE> -@ <NUMTHREADS>

The MACS/2 program
The main way of running this program is as follows:
macs2 callpeak -B -t $BAM1 -c $BAM2 -f BAMPE --outdir $IPOUTDIR -g 12.07e6 -q 0.01
- $BAM1 is the name of the immunoprecipitation alignment file, termed the treatment and therefore given with the -t option.
- $BAM2 is the name of the normal input alignment file, termed the control and therefore given with the -c option.
categories and Signal =
It is not totally clear how MACS decides that a peak should be called. This is apparent when the signal appears to rise and fall, yet MACS does not call a peak.
Signal script
The source for this is from the MACS developer and is detailed here.
Differential Peak-calling
Macs2 incorporated differential peak calling somewhat later into its set of tools. The idea is to take two conditions and compare their peaks.
The pipeline to follow is probably Macs2's recommended one at Differential Binding Events
