Σύνοψη	Differential ChIP-seq peak calling identifies genomic loci where a protein of interest — typically a transcription factor or histone mark — shows significantly altered binding or occupancy between two or more biological conditions. By combining standard ChIP-seq peak detection with count-based statistical testing, the method reveals condition-specific regulatory elements, providing a genome-wide map of dynamic chromatin interactions underlying cellular state changes.	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.
