Different from traditional peak callers that detect strong peaks only, ChIP-BIT2 detects both strong and weak peaks from enhancer regions, promoter regions or the whole genome using a pair of sample and input ChIP-seq experiments. It can automatically detect both narrow and wide peaks so can be applied to detecting transcription factor binding events or histone modifications without specific settings.
ChIP-BIT2 is an extended version of the ChIP-BIT method: a method designed mainly for detecting narrow peaks in promoter regions as described in the following paper:
