  • Duplicate peaks in MACS2 narrowPeak output

    Hi Everyone,

    Has anyone noticed that MACS2 occasionally outputs duplicate peaks in the .narrowPeak output? There peaks have the exact same start and end coordinates but different scores and p-values. For example:

    chr start end H3K27me3_rep1_peak_7a 273 . 6.39200 31.40267 27.34079 201
    chr start end H3K27me3_rep1_peak_7b 26 . 2.87399 4.79406 2.64603 624

    Is there any documentation or clues about why this happens? Is it safe to merge these peaks and what can one do with the quality values?

    Any help and guidance appreciated.

    With thanks,

    Nikolas

    Not an answer but I am curious about the same thing.

      Those entries refer to two summits within the same peak. Safe to merge, if you don't care about the shape of the peak.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        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...
