CLIMB: High-dimensional association detection in large scale genomic data.

ABSTRACT: Joint analyses of genomic datasets obtained in multiple different conditions are essential for understanding the biological mechanism that drives tissue-specificity and cell differentiation, but they still remain computationally challenging. To address this we introduce CLIMB (Composite LIkelihood eMpirical Bayes), a statistical methodology that learns patterns of condition-specificity present in genomic data. CLIMB provides a generic framework facilitating a host of analyses, such as clustering genomic features sharing similar condition-specific patterns and identifying which of these features are involved in cell fate commitment. We apply CLIMB to three sets of hematopoietic data, which examine CTCF ChIP-seq measured in 17 different cell populations, RNA-seq measured across constituent c
