Description
A widely-used, fast, robust ChIP-seq peak-finding algorithm that accounts for the offset in forward-strand and reverse-strand reads to improve resolution and uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome. MACS 1.4 was used in the ENCODE 2 uniform peak calling pipeline.
