Benchmarking Peak Calling Methods for CUT&RUN

ABSTRACT: Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) has rapidly gained prominence as an effective approach for mapping protein-DNA interactions, especially histone modifications, offering substantial improvements over conventional chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq). However, the effectiveness of this technique is contingent upon accurate peak identification, necessitating the use of optimal peak calling methods tailored to the unique characteristics of CUT&RUN data. Here, we benchmark four prominent peak calling tools - MACS2, SEACR, GoPeaks, and LanceOtron - evaluating their performance in identifying peaks from CUT&RUN datasets. Our analysis utilizes in-house data of three histone marks (H3K4me3, H3K27ac, and H3K27me3) from mouse brain tissue, as well as samples from the 4DNucleome database. We systematically assess these tools based on parameters such as the number of peaks called, peak length distribution, signal enrichment, and reproducibility across biological replicates. Our findings reveal substantial variability in peak calling efficacy, with each method demonstrating distinct strengths in sensitivity, precision, and applicability depending on the histone mark in question. These insights provide a comprehensive evaluation that will assist in selecting the most suitable peak caller for high-confidence identification of regions of interest in CUT&RUN experiments, ultimately enhancing the study of chromatin dynamics and transcriptional regulation.

CUT&Tag recovers up to half of ENCODE ChIP-seq histone acetylation peaks

Project description:We comprehensively benchmarked CUT&Tag for H3K27ac and H3K27me3 against published ChIP-seq profiles from ENCODE in K562 cells. Combining multiple new and published CUT&Tag datasets, there was an average recall of 54% known ENCODE peaks for both histone modifications. To optimize data analysis steps, we tested peak callers MACS2 and SEACR and identified optimal peak calling parameters. Considering both precision and recall of known ENCODE peaks, the peak callers were comparable in their performance, although peaks produced by MACS2 match ENCODE peak width distributions more closely. We found that reducing PCR cycles during library preparation lowered duplication rates at the expense of ENCODE peak recovery. Despite the moderate ENCODE peak recovery, peaks identified by CUT&Tag represent the strongest ENCODE peaks and show the same functional and biological enrichments as ChIP-seq peaks identified by ENCODE. Our workflow systematically evaluates the merits of methodological adjustments, providing a benchmarking framework for the experimental design and analysis of CUT&Tag studies, and will facilitate future efforts to apply CUT&Tag in human tissues and single cells.

CUT&Tag recovers up to half of ENCODE ChIP-seq peaks

Project description:We comprehensively benchmarked CUT&Tag for H3K27ac and H3K27me3 against published ChIP-seq profiles from ENCODE in K562 cells. Across a total of 30 new and 6 published CUT&Tag datasets we found that no experiment recovers more than 50% of known ENCODE peaks, regardless of the histone mark. We tested peak callers MACS2 and SEACR, identifying optimal peak calling parameters. Balancing both precision and recall of known ENCODE peaks, SEACR without retention of duplicates showed the best performance. We found that reducing PCR cycles during library preparation lowered duplication rates at the expense of ENCODE peak recovery. Despite the moderate ENCODE peak recovery, peaks identified by CUT&Tag represent the strongest ENCODE peaks and show the same functional and biological enrichments as ChIP-seq peaks identified by ENCODE. Our workflow systematically evaluates the merits of methodological adjustments and will facilitate future efforts to apply CUT&Tag in human tissues and single cells.

peakC: a flexible, non-parametric peak calling package for 4C and Capture-C data

Project description:High-resolution methods such as 4C and Capture-C enable the study of chromatin loops such as those formed between promoters and enhancers or CTCF/cohesin binding sites. An important aspect of 4C/CapC analyses is the identification of robust peaks in the data for the identification of chromatin loops. Here we present an R package for the analysis of 4C/CapC data. We generated 4C data for 10 viewpoints in 2 tissues in triplicate to test our methods. We developed a non-parametric peak caller based on rank-products. Sampling analysis shows that not read depth but template quality is the most important determinant of success in 4C experiments. By performing peak calling on single experiments we show that the peak calling results are similar to the replicate experiments, but that false positive rates are significantly reduced by performing replicates.

ChIP-AP - An Integrated ChIP-Seq Analysis Pipeline

Project description:ChIP-Seq is a technique used to analyse protein-DNA interactions. The protein-DNA complex is pulled down using a protein antibody, after which sequencing and analysis of the bound DNA fragments is performed. A key bioinformatics analysis step is “peak” calling - identifying regions of enrichment. Benchmarking studies have consistently shown that no optimal peak caller exists. Peak callers have distinct selectivity and specificity characteristics which are often not additive and seldom completely overlap in many scenarios. In the absence of a universal peak caller, we rationalized one ought to utilize multiple peak-callers to 1) gauge peak confidence as determined through detection by multiple algorithms, and 2) more thoroughly survey the protein-bound landscape by capturing peaks not detected by individual peak callers owing to algorithmic limitations and biases. We therefore developed an integrated ChIP-Seq Analysis Pipeline (ChIP AP) which performs all analysis steps from raw fastq files to final result, and utilizes four commonly used peak callers to more thoroughly and comprehensively analyse datasets. Results are integrated and presented in a single file enabling users to apply selectivity and sensitivity thresholds to select the consensus peak set, the union peak set, or any sub-set in-between to more confidently and comprehensively explore the protein bound landscape.

Detecting differential peaks in ChIP-seq signals with ODIN

Project description:Motivation: Detection of changes in DNA-protein interactions from ChIP-seq data is a crucial step in unraveling the regulatory networks behind biological processes. The simplest variation of this problem is the differential peak calling problem. Here one has to find genomic regions with ChIP-seq signal changes between two cellular conditions in the interaction of a protein with DNA. The great majority of peak calling methods can only analyse one ChIP-seq signal at a time and are unable to perform differential peak calling. Recently, a few approaches based on the combination of these peak callers with statistical tests for detecting differential digital expression have been proposed. However, these methods fail to detect detailed changes of protein-DNA interactions. Results: We propose ODIN; an HMM-based approach to detect and analyse differential peaks in pairs of ChIP-seq data. ODIN performs genomic signal processing, peak calling and p-value calculation in an integrated framework. We also propose an evaluation methodology to compare ODIN with competing methods. The evaluation method is based on the association of differential peaks with expression changes in the same cellular conditions. Our empirical study based on several ChIP-seq experiments from transcription factors, histone modifications and simulated data shows that ODIN outperforms considered competing methods in most scenarios.

The SWI/SNF subunit Dpf2 licenses Nrf2-dependent gene expression to enforce multilineage control of inflammation [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Purpose: Multi-omics characterization of the consequences of deleting the SWI/SNF subunit Dpf2 in the transcriptome (RNAseq), accessibility of the genome (ATACseq) and binding of SWI/SNF subunits (CUT&RUN) in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, resting and polarized bone-marrow derived macrophages and resting and activated CD4+ T cells obtained from Dpf2f/f and Dpf2D/D mice. Methods: Lin- cKit+ cells were sorted from bone marrow of 28-days old Dpf2f/f and Dpf2D/D mice. Bone-marrow derived macrophages were obtained from 28-days old Dpf2f/f and Dpf2D/D mice and polarized with IFNg and LPS, or IL-4 for 24hours. CD4+ splenic T helper cells were obtained from 28-days old Dpf2f/f and Dpf2D/D mice and activated by treatment with PMA and Ionomycin. Methods: For CUT&RUN experiments, Lin- cKit+ cells were obtained from bone marrow of 28-days old Dpf2f/f and Dpf2D/D mice. Cells were crosslinked (1 min, 1% formaldehyde), quenched (125mM Glycine) and washed in buffers following the CUTANA ChIC/CUT&RUN kit according to the manufacturer’s CUT&RUN cross-linking protocol (EpiCypher, 14-1048). Results: For CUT&RUN experiments, 5 million (paired-end, 75bp) reads were obtained per sample. Pair-end fastq files were processed with the ENCODE Transcription Factor and Histone ChIP-Seq processing pipeline (https://github.com/ENCODE-DCC/chip-seq-pipeline2). Reads were trimmed using cutadapt v2.5. and aligned to the mm10 genome using Bowtie2 v2.3.4.3. SAMtools v1.9 were used to convert the output file to BAM format. Duplicates were removed using Picard Tools v2.20.7. Peak calling was performed with MACS2 v2.2.4. Conclusions: The absence of Dpf2 in LK cells results in downregulation of anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory gene expression programs in bone marrow LK cells, bone-marrow derived macrophages and CD4+ T cells.
