An introduction to computational tools for differential binding analysis with ChIP-seq data
Background: Gene transcription in eukaryotic cells is collectively controlled by a large panel of chromatin associated proteins and ChIP-seq is now widely used to locate their binding sites along the whole genome. Inferring the differential binding sites of these proteins between biological conditions by comparing the corresponding ChIP-seq samples is of general interest, yet it is still a computationally challenging task.
Results: Here, we briefly review the computational tools developed in recent years for differential binding analysis with ChIP-seq data. The methods are extensively classified by their strategy of statistical modeling and scope of application. Finally, a decision tree is presented for choosing proper tools based on the specific dataset.
Conclusions: Computational tools for differential binding analysis with ChIP-seq data vary significantly with respect to their applicability and performance. This review can serve as a practical guide for readers to select appropriate tools for their own datasets.
