A physical model for tiling array analysis

چکیده
MOTIVATION Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful experimental approach to identify in vivo binding sites of sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs). These experiments are designed to specifically enrich DNA fragments that are bound to the TF. Tiling arrays have become more and more popular for the identification of these DNA fragments. However, many studies showed that only a fraction of the identified DNA fragments contains bona fide binding sites for the TF, suggesting that indirect binding mechanisms play a very important role. We explored the possibility that the lack of binding sites can also be explained by problems in identifying ChIP-enriched DNA fragments from the measured intensities. RESULTS We derived a physical model that explains some (but not all) variation of the measured probe intensities of Affymetrix tiling arrays. We used the physical model to estimate the probe-specific behavior and corrected for it. Subsequently, we developed a method to identify ChIP-enriched DNA fragments. We termed it physical model for tiling array analysis (PMT). We applied PMT to the data of ChIP-chip experiments interrogating chromosome 21 and 22 of the human genome for binding of the TFs MYC, SP1 and P53. Almost all regions recovered by PMT showed evidence for sequence-specific binding of the TFs.

A supervised hidden markov model framework for efficiently segmenting tiling array data in transcriptional and chIP-chip experiments: systematically incorporating validated biological knowledge
MOTIVATION Large-scale tiling array experiments are becoming increasingly common in genomics. In particular, the ENCODE project requires the consistent segmentation of many different tiling array datasets into 'active regions' (e.g. finding transfrags from transcriptional data and putative binding sites from ChIP-chip experiments). Previously, such segmentation was done in an unsupervised fashi...

With high throughput experiments like tiling array and NGS, researchers are looking for continuous homogeneous segments or signal peaks, which would represent chromatin states, methylation ratio, transcripts or genome regions of deletion and amplification. While in a normal experimental set-up, these profiles would be generated for multiple samples or conditions with replicates. In the package ...
