Abstract

The ability to correlate chromosome conformation and gene expression gives a great deal of information regarding the strategies used by a cell to properly regulate gene activity. 4C-Seq is a relatively new and increasingly popular technology where the set of genomic interactions generated by a single point in the genome can be determined. 4C-Seq experiments generate large, complicated data sets and it is imperative that signal is properly distinguished from noise. Currently, there are a limited number of methods for analyzing 4C-Seq data. Here, we present a new method, fourSig, which in addition to being precise and simple to use also includes a new feature that prioritizes detected interactions. Our results demonstrate the efficacy of fourSig with previously published and novel 4C-Seq data sets and show that our significance prioritization correlates with the ability to reproducibly detect interactions among replicates.

摘要

染色体构象和基因表达之间的相关性提供了大量信息,有助于了解细胞用于正确调节基因活性的策略。4C-Seq 是一种相对较新且日益流行的技术,可以确定基因组中单个点产生的基因组相互作用集。4C-Seq 实验产生了大量复杂的数据集,因此必须正确区分信号和噪声。目前,用于分析 4C-Seq 数据的方法有限。在这里,我们提出了一种新方法 fourSig,它不仅精确且易于使用,还包含了一个新功能,可优先考虑检测到的相互作用。我们的结果表明,fourSig 能够有效处理先前发布的和新的 4C-Seq 数据集,并表明我们的显著性优先级与在重复实验中可重复性检测相互作用的能力相关。
