How To Analyze ChIP-seq Data For Absolute Beginners Part 5: Mastering Reproducibility With IDR Analysis
Introduction: Why Reproducibility Is Crucial In ChIP-seq Analysis Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) has revolutionized our understanding of protein-DNA interactions across the genome. However, like all experimental techniques, ChIP-seq is subject to both technical and biological variability. This variability creates a fundamental challenge: how do we distinguish genuine protein binding events from experimental…
