When is a Peak a Peak? (Claudio Cantù)

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked to Claudio Cantù from Linköping University about his work on peak blacklists, peak concordance and what is a peak in CUT&RUN.

Our host Stefan Dillinger and guest Claudio Cantù dive into the topic of when we can be sure that a peak is a peak. To help with this, Claudio Cantù's group has been working on defining a set of suspicious peaks that can be used as a "peak blacklist" and can be subtracted to clean up CUT&RUN data sets. The lab also worked on a method called ICEBERG (Increased Capture of Enrichment By Exhaustive Replicate aGgregation) to help define peaks from a number of experimental replicates. By using this algorithm, the team is trying to discover the beta-catenin binding profile, not the tip of the beta-catenin binding iceberg, but the whole of the beta-catenin binding profile.
