    Problem with visualizing Chip-Seq peaks

    Hi there,

    I am having trouble to visualize my Chip-Seq peaks called by MACS in two subsequent biological replicates.
    I let MACS generate wiggle files of the peaks that I could use individually for visualization, but ideally I would like to look at only the peaks that have been found in both replicates and throw out anything that is only found in one of them.

    So, I took the bed files generated by MACS, concateneated them and clustered any regions overlapping by 1 bp from both replicates into 1 region which should give me only the peaks found in both replicates.

    However, when I load the bed files into my prefered genome browser (zenbu), for each peak I can only get (as opposed to the wig files) a bar that covers the region, but no quantity of tags or signal or whatever.

    So how do people show those beautiful peaks in all the papers that have those nice peak shapes? What kind of file should be used for that?

    Thank you very much for your help!
    Cheers,
    Tobias

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
