Abstract

The next-generation sequencing coupled with chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) is becoming a key technology for the study of transcriptional regulation in the context of functional genomics. Due to the overwhelming amount of data generated from ChIP-seq experiments, the ChIP-seq data processing brings many new challenges in the field of bioinformatics. Considering the development of data processing skills largely behind that of the ChIP-seq experiment techniques, it is urgent to give a review on the ChIP-seq data processing for more and more oncoming researchers to build or improve algorithms. This paper provides a brief overview of the ChIP-seq data processing, highlighting the main prob-lems and methods in detail, to allow scientists to understand rapidly and deeply.
