IntroDuctIon
To understand how cis-regulatory elements determine gene expres-
sion, the global identi?ication o? in vivo transcription ?actor binding
sites is an invaluable tool. It is usually achieved by ChIP ?ollowed
by microarray analysis (i.e., ChIP-chip)
1,2
, or, more recently, by
deep sequencing (ChIP-seq)
3,4
. The ?ocus o? many current ChIP-
seq studies is the comparison o? transcription ?actor binding pro-
?iles across di??erent conditions such as di??erent developmental
time points
5,6
, cell types (e.g., within one cell lineage
7,8
) or closely
related species
9,10
. However, such comparative ChIP-seq studies
are highly dependent on appropriate computational approaches,
which are o?ten still lacking. Most notably, stringent thresholds
are typically used to reliably identi?y transcription ?actor binding
sites. However, this method does not discriminate subthreshold
binding ?rom truly nonbound regions, and it is subject to noise,
which can lead to an underestimation o? the overlap in binding
between two data sets.
Here we present a computational approach ?or the compara-
tive analysis o? ChIP-seq data that we recently developed to
compare binding o? the mesodermal transcription ?actor Twist
across six closely related Drosophila species
9
(Fig. 1). We describe
technical guidelines and provide code with sample data ?or the
preprocessing and mapping o? ChIP-seq reads, the translation o?
ChIP-seq data to a common re?erence genome (?or cross-species
analyses), approaches ?or a threshold-?ree comparison o? global
binding similarity, an analysis o? binary presence/absence bind-
ing o? patterns (e.g., to estimate the conservation o? binding)
and the assessment o? quantitative changes in binding. We also
discuss ?unctional and comparative sequence analyses o? tran-
scription ?actor binding. Although this pro
