About this Class

This training will provide an introduction to ChIP sequencing data analysis followed by a tutorial showing ChIP-seq analysis workflow and preparing participants to independently run basic ChIP-seq analysis for peak calling using a "point and click" approach on Galaxy platform. The hands-on exercise will run on a Galaxy platform using ChIP-seq data.  Participants will have a chance to: run quality control on ChIP-seq data; map raw reads to a reference genome; generate alignment statistics and check mapping quality; call peaks using MACS; annotate peaks; visualize the enriched regions.
