Differential Identification using Mixtures Ensemble (DIME) is a package for identification of biologically significant differential binding sites between two conditions using ChIP-seq data. It considers a collection of finite mixture models combined with a false discovery rate (FDR) criterion to find statistically significant regions. This leads to a more reliable assessment of differential binding sites based on a statistical approach. In addition to ChIP-seq, DIME is also applicable to data from other high-throughput platforms.
DIME is implemented as an R-package, which is available at http://www.stat.osu.edu/~statgen/SOFTWARE/DIME. It may also be downloaded from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/DIME/.
使用混合物集成(DIME)进行差异识别是一个用于使用 ChIP-seq 数据识别两种条件之间具有生物学意义的差异结合位点的软件包。它考虑了一组有限混合模型,并结合了错误发现率(FDR)标准,以找到具有统计学意义的区域。这使得基于统计方法更可靠地评估差异结合位点成为可能。除了 ChIP-seq,DIME 还适用于来自其他高通量平台的数据。
DIME 作为一个 R 包实现,可在 http://www.stat.osu.edu/~statgen/SOFTWARE/DIME 获得。也可以从 http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/DIME/ 下载。
