BaalChIP - Bayesian analysis of allele-specific transcription factor binding in cancer genomes
BaalChIP stands for Bayesian Analysis of Allelic imbalances from ChIP-seq data.
BaalChIP is a rigorous statistical method to identify allele-specific binding of transcription factors, which is important, for example, to understand the functional consequences of the many disease-risk associated SNPs occurring in non-coding DNA.
BaalChIP combines a strict filtering and quality-control pipeline for quality control with a Bayesian statistical model that corrects for biases introduced by overdispersion, biases towards the reference allele, and most importantly, differences in allele frequencies due to copy number changes
