DNaseR - DNase-seq digita genomic footprinting in R

[pmad]

Dear Bioinformatics community,

DNase-seq has been used to measure chromatin accessibility in a given
tissue or cell type on a genome-wide scale. In addition to DNaseI
hypersensitivite sites (DHSs), short regions of protected nucleotides
known as footprints can be detected, indicating transcription factor
binding ocuppancy events.

DNaseR, a new package for DNase I footprinting analysis of DNase-seq
data has been released in the current version Bioconductor. Devel
version is at: http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.1...ml/DNaseR.html

DNaseR aims to detect protein binding footprints in DNase-seq data
from reads in BAM standard aligment format.
