Inherent signals in sequencing-based Chromatin-ImmunoPrecipitation control libraries.

<h4>Background</h4>The growth of sequencing-based Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation studies call for a more in-depth understanding of the nature of the technology and of the resultant data to reduce false positives and false negatives. Control libraries are typically constructed to compleme...
