r-basicstarrseq 1.34.0

This package implements a method that aims to identify enhancers on large scale. The STARR-seq data consists of two sequencing datasets of the same targets in a specific genome. The input sequences show which regions where tested for enhancers. Significant enriched peaks i.e. a lot more sequences in one region than in the input where enhancers in the genomic DNA are, can be identified. So the approach pursued is to call peak every region in which there is a lot more (significant in a binomial model) STARR-seq signal than input signal and propose an enhancer at that very same position. Enhancers then are called weak or strong dependent of there degree of enrichment in comparison to input.
