Hello,
This tool compares peaks between conditions and outputs those unique to each and those in common. From the tool author's help: https://github.com/taoliu/MACS/wiki/Call-differential-binding-events
Three types of differential regions will be reported: 1. those having
more enrichment in condition 1 over condition 2 ( cond1_ChIP >
cond1_Control and cond1_ChIP > cond2_ChIP ); 2. those having more
enrichment in condition 2 over condition 1 ( cond2_ChIP >
cond2_Control and cond2_ChIP > cond1_ChIP ); those having similar
enrichment in both conditions ( cond1_ChIP > cond1_Control and
cond2_ChIP > cond2_Control and cond1_ChIP ≈ cond1_ChIP ).
There are other tools that you can experiment with if this is not exactly the data you want to evaluate. Please see the Galaxy ChIP-seq tutorials here for examples: https://galaxyproject.org/learn/
Coordinates in BED/interval datasets can be compared to link in gene/transcript annotation. Obtain or create a BED dataset with the gene/transcript name in the 4th field ("name") and compare it to your peaks. Examples of joining data based on coordinate overlap are in the Galaxy 101 tutorial (included in the same tutorial link above).
Thanks! Jen, Galaxy team
