VirtUaL ChIP-Seq data Analysis using Networks

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.34.0

Vulcan (VirtUaL ChIP-Seq Analysis through Networks) is a package that interrogates gene regulatory networks to infer cofactors significantly enriched in a differential binding signature coming from ChIP-Seq data. In order to do so, our package combines strategies from different BioConductor packages: DESeq for data normalization, ChIPpeakAnno and DiffBind for annotation and definition of ChIP-Seq genomic peaks, csaw to define optimal peak width and viper for applying a regulatory network over a differential binding signature.
