“Discovering transcription factor binding sites in
highly repetitive regions of genomes
with multi-read analysis of ChIP-seq data”.
Overview
Multi-reads are the reads that map to multiple locations on the reference genome.
Current state of the art for analyzing ChIP-seq data relies on using only reads that
map uniquely to relevant reference genome (uni-reads). This can lead to the omission
of up to 30% of alignable reads. Chung et al. (2010) illustrated that incorporation of
multi-reads significantly increases sequencing depths, leads to detection of novel peaks
that are not otherwise identifiable with uni-reads, and improves detection of peaks
in low mappable regions. The computational and experimental results established that
multi-reads can be of critical importance for studying transcription factor binding
in highly repetitive regions of genomes with ChIP-seq experiments.
