Zusammenfassung	ChIP-seq peak calling is a computational pipeline that identifies genomic regions where a protein of interest — a transcription factor or histone modification — is enriched, based on sequencing reads from chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments. It converts raw sequencing data into a set of high-confidence binding or modification sites across the genome, enabling downstream analysis of gene regulation, chromatin state, and epigenetic mechanisms.	ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) is a method for profiling the landscape of chromatin accessibility genome-wide. Developed by Buenrostro and colleagues in 2013, ATAC-seq uses hyperactive transposase to tag open, accessible chromatin regions, enabling rapid and sensitive identification of regulatory DNA elements. ATAC-seq has become a standard technique for characterizing gene regulatory landscapes, discovering cell-type-specific regulatory elements, and inferring gene regulatory networks.
