  • BedTools Fisher Question

    Hi, All! I have a question about the usage of the bedtools fisher tool. I have posted elsewhere but have not received answers.

    I am trying to determine the significance of ChIP-seq peak overlap. I have two files with peaks all 101 bp in width. I entered the following command:

    Code:
    bedtools fisher -a Factor1.bed -b Factor2.bed -g mm10.chrom.sizes
    The file mm10.chrom.sizes contains each mouse chromosome and it's length. The output I received is:

    Code:
    # Number of query intervals: 27176
    # Number of db intervals: 44018
    # Number of overlaps: 25704
    # Number of possible intervals (estimated): 13386626
    # phyper(25704 - 1, 27176, 13386626 - 27176, 44018, lower.tail=F)
    # Contingency Table Of Counts
    #_________________________________________
    #           |  in -b       | not in -b    |
    #     in -a | 25704        | 1472         |
    # not in -a | 18314        | 13341136     |
    #_________________________________________
    # p-values for fisher's exact test
    left    right   two-tail        ratio
    1       0       0       12720.451
    This doesn't make sense to me. I feel that I am likely using the incorrect genome file, but am not sure what to use. Any advice?

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin


    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    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...
