TFHAZ
It finds trascription factor (TF) high accumulation DNA zones, i.e., regions along the genome where there is a high presence of different transcription factors. Starting from a dataset containing the genomic positions of TF binding regions, for each base of the selected chromosome the accumulation of TFs is computed. Three different types of accumulation (TF, region and base accumulation) are available, together with the possibility of considering, in the single base accumulation computing, the TFs present not only in that single base, but also in its neighborhood, within a window of a given width. Two different methods for the search of TF high accumulation DNA zones, called "binding regions" and "overlaps", are available. In addition, some functions are provided in order to analyze, visualize and compare results obtained with different input parameters.

ChIPanalyser is a package to predict and understand TF binding by utilizing a statistical thermodynamic model. The model incorporates 4 main factors thought to drive TF binding: Chromatin State, Binding energy, Number of bound molecules and a scaling factor modulating TF binding affinity. Taken together, ChIPanalyser produces ChIP-like profiles that closely mimic the patterns seens in real ChIP-seq data.
This package compares genomic positions and genomic ranges from multiple experiments to extract common regions. The size of the analyzed region is adjustable as well as the number of experiences in which a feature must be present in a potential region to tag this region as a consensus region. In genomic analysis where feature identification generates a position value surrounded by a genomic range, such as ChIP-Seq peaks and nucleosome positions, the replication of an experiment may result in slight differences between predicted values. This package enables the conciliation of the results into consensus regions.
Visualization of next generation sequencing (NGS) data is essential for interpreting high-throughput genomics experiment results. 'GenomicPlot' facilitates plotting of NGS data in various formats (bam, bed, wig and bigwig); both coverage and enrichment over input can be computed and displayed with respect to genomic features (such as UTR, CDS, enhancer), and user defined genomic loci or regions. Statistical tests on signal intensity within user defined regions of interest can be performed and represented as boxplots or bar graphs. Parallel processing is used to speed up computation on multicore platforms. In addition to genomic plots which is suitable for displaying of coverage of genomic DNA (such as ChIPseq data), metagenomic (without introns) plots can also be made for RNAseq or CLIPseq data as well.
