Any one using SeqMonk to do ChIP seq analysis? I found it super easy to use and come with some handy analysis after peak generation, e.g. filter functions. But I don't know what's statistical model behind the peak calling. The program seems not published, so I wonder data generated with this program is acceptable by journals?

SeqMonk (at least in it's current version) doesn't have a peak detection algorithm as such built in - although you can certainly use the quantitation tools for doing this kind of work.
If your ChIP data is pretty clean with isolated clusters of sequences then you can use the contig probe generator to build probes over clusters of reads. We've used this successfully with traditional ChIP based experiments. The probe generation is not statistically based, but done simply from building contigs of overlapping reads.
For ChIP samples which are much noisier and have reads over much of the genome you're normally better generating tiled probes over the whole genome and then using the window based filters to identify peaks.
For identifying significant enrichments you can either use the distribution based filters or statistical filters such as the boxwhisker filter.
As for why SeqMonk isn't published yet - well it's on my list of stuff to do (but it's far from alone on there!)

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
