DChIPRep, an R/Bioconductor package for differential enrichment analysis in chromatin studies.

ABSTRACT: The genome-wide study of epigenetic states requires the integrative analysis of histone modification ChIP-seq data. Here, we introduce an easy-to-use analytic framework to compare profiles of enrichment in histone modifications around classes of genomic elements, e.g. transcription start sites (TSS). Our framework is available via the user-friendly R/Bioconductor package DChIPRep. DChIPRep uses biological replicate information as well as chromatin Input data to allow for a rigorous assessment of differential enrichment. DChIPRep is available for download through the Bioconductor project at http://bioconductor.org/packages/DChIPRep. Contact. [e-mail].
