Workshop Description (Intermediate Course)

This workshop aims to provide skills needed to address principles of the assay, quality assessment, sequencing depth, data processing and functional downstream analyses of ChIP-seq datasets. Students will have opportunities to practice hands-on with state-of-the-art analytical tools.

Workshop Topics

•Assay protocol
•Principles and theory
•Quality Control
•Data download from GEO (SRA toolkit)

•Alignment to human genome (Bowtie2)
•Peak calling (MACS)
•Genome browser viewing (IGB)
•Differential peak calling (HOMER)

•ChIP region annotation (CEAS)
•Peak overlap between datasets (SITEPRO/BEDtools)
•Integrative RNA-seq promoter analysis (CEAS)
•TF Motif discovery (HOMER)
•Gene assignment and gene ontology (GREAT)

Reviews

This was a great workshop that shows the various steps and options for representing and analyzing ChIP-seq data. The outline of the overall workshop made sense and provided me with a lot of information to try. Thanks!

He is a great instructor and very helpful with questions throughout the course.

I was glad that we went over QC methods and tools.

This is a good workshop for biologists to understand the analysis process of ChIP-seq data.
