Concurrent mapping of multiple epigenetic marks and co-occupancy using ACT2-seq
Abstract Background Genome-wide profiling of epigenetic marks is a core technology in molecular genetics. Co-occupancy of different epigenetic marks or protein factors at the same genomic locations must often be inferred from multiple independently collected data sets. However, this strategy does no...
