Hi,
Am using MACS for the first time. I ran MACS on my sequence data and I find peaks (as listed in the bed file) in regions that have no signal. Why would this be? Has anyone encountered this phenomenon before? Please suggest. Thanks in advance, Veena |

How did you check there's no signal in those regions?

hi Dawe, All,
I debugged the issue and found that it was basically an issue with the input file fed to MACS. I was running MACS on .sam files. The program used to generate signal files from .sam files excluded repeats (X:A:R tags), whereas MACS included the repeats in the .sam file. I now reran MACS using the bed files as input for MACS (instead of .sam files) and it looks fine now. Thanks, Veena |
