Description : Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq on short reads sequencers
MACS empirically models the length of the sequenced ChIP fragments, which
tends to be shorter than sonication or library construction size estimates,
and uses it to improve the spatial resolution of predicted binding sites.
MACS also uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local
biases in the genome sequence, allowing for more sensitive and robust
prediction. MACS compares favorably to existing ChIP-Seq peak-finding
algorithms, is publicly available open source, and can be used for ChIP-Seq
with or without control samples.
