Identifying regulatory functions in genomes Chr5: 133,876,119 – 134,876,119 Genes Transcription • Regulatory elements are not easily detected by sequence analysis • Examine biochemical correlates of RE activity in cells/tissues: • Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) • DNase-seq and FAIRE • Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP)
Identifying regulatory functions in genomes Noonan and McCallion, Ann Rev Genomics Hum Genet 11:1 (2010)
Biochemical indicators of regulatory function 1. TF binding 2. Histone modification • H3K27ac • H3K4me3 3. Chromatin modifiers & coactivators p300 MLL 4. DNA looping factors cohesin

ChIP-seq ChIP Peak call Signal Input Align reads to reference Use peaks of mapped reads to identify binding events PCR
Calling peaks in ChIP-seq data ChIP Peak call Enrichment relative to control Input ChIP-seq is an enrichment method Requires a statistical framework for determining the significance of enrichment ChIP-seq ‘peaks’ are regions of enriched read density relative to an input control Input = sonicated chromatin collected prior to immunoprecipitation
There are many ChIP-seq peak callers available Wilbanks and Facciotti PLoS ONE 5:e11471 (2010)
Generating ChIP-seq peak profiles • Artifacts: • Repeats • PCR duplicates From Park (2009) Nat Rev Genet 10:669
Assessing statistical significance Assume read distribution follows a Poissondistribution Many sites in input data will have some reads by chance Some sites will have many reads # of reads at a site (S) Empirical FDR: Call peaks in input (using ChIP as control) FDR = ratio of # of peaks of given enrichment value called in input vsChIP From Pepke et al (2009) Nat Meth 6:S22
Assessing statistical significance Sequencing depth matters: # of reads at a site (S) From Park (2009) Nat Rev Genet 10:669

Interpreting ChIP-seq datasets • Requires some prior knowledge • TF function • Histone modification • Potential target genes • Exploit existing annotation • Promoter locations • Known binding sites • Known histone modification maps
CTCF and cohesin co-occupy many sites Promoters Insulators Enhancers From Kagey et al (2010) Nature 467:430
Promoter Enhancers? CTCF: marks insulators and promoters RAD21 (cohesin): marks insulators, promoters and enhancers

Single TF binding events may not indicate regulatory function • Many TFs are present at high concentrations • in the nucleus • TF motifs are abundant in the genome • Single TF binding events may be incidental Enhancer-associated histone modification
