This article provides a flexible workflow for the analysis of chromatin immunoprecipitation data (ChIP-chip) that covers issues from quality control, probe sequence remapping, data preprocessing/normalization, visualization, and high-level analysis like peak finding. It emphasizes the peculiarities of single-color Affymetrix arrays, but it is flexible enough to be also amenable to other array platforms. The article is accompanied by extensive code implementing each of the analysis steps.
本文提供了一种灵活的染色质免疫沉淀数据(ChIP-chip)分析工作流程,涵盖了从质量控制、探针序列重新映射、数据预处理/归一化、可视化到高级分析(如峰值查找)等问题。它强调了单色Affymetrix阵列的特殊性,但也足够灵活,适用于其他阵列平台。本文还附带了实现每个分析步骤的大量代码。
