Peak caller aimed at transcription factor binding sites

MACS (Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq) is a tool for identifying transcription factor (TF) binding sites. Such sites are generated by CHiP-Seq (CHromatin immuno-Precipitation sequencing) and ATAC-Seq (Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin Sequencing). MACS identifies "peaks" in the genome sequence, which are areas enriched in bound TFs or accessible chromatin.
