  • ChIPSeq: Unusual narrow peaks

    HI,
    I am looking at some ChIPSeq data that is rather unusual. The forward and reverse reads form deep thin stacks. Their width is mostly just above the read length of 75 bp. The 'peaks' (pseudo-peaks?) are distributed well across the mouse genome. Have any of you see this? What could be the reason? This experiment is investigating transcription factor binding ....


    Thanks!
    Jarus

    Hm. Sounds to me like a very low complexity library - I have seen one or two of those, but can only speculate about the reason.
    Perhaps very low amounts of input dna with too many PCR cycles?

      Sounds like a low complexity issue but it would be helpful if you posted some images of what the data looks like.

          Yes, thats what PCR artifacts from low complexity libraries look like.

            Thank you all. I think its time to get back to re-doing experiment. I guess, Data analysis-wise there is not much to do...

              The Impact of AI in Genomic Medicine
              by seqadmin



              Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from a futuristic vision to a mainstream technology, highlighted by the introduction of tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. In recent years, AI has become increasingly integrated into the field of genomics. This integration has enabled new scientific discoveries while simultaneously raising important ethical questions1. Interviews with two researchers at the center of this intersection provide insightful perspectives into...
