Machine Learning-Assisted ChIP-seq Peak Calling
Machine learning-assisted ChIP-seq peak calling extends classical statistical peak detection with supervised or unsupervised learning models that distinguish genuine protein-binding sites from background noise. By training on sequence composition, read coverage profiles, and epigenomic features, these methods improve sensitivity and specificity compared with threshold-based approaches, particularly in low-signal or heterogeneous chromatin contexts.
