We have developed a number of widely used algorithms to detect and annotate genome-wide cis-regulatory regions, including a Hidden Markov Model ('''Bioinformatics''' 2005) and MAT ('''PNAS''' 2006) for analyzing ChIP-chip experiments on genome tiling arrays, CEAS ('''NAR''' 2006) for cis-regulatory element annotation, xMAN ('''BMC Genomics''' 2008) for microarray probe mapping, MACS ('''Genome Biology''' 2008) for model based analysis of ChIP-seq, BSMAP ('''BMC Bioinformatics''' 2009) for DNA methylation analysis using Bisulfite-seq, MMES ('''PLoS ONE''' 2010) for alternative splicing using RNA-seq, and fragile nucleosomes ('''Genome Re'''s 2011) using MNase-seq. These algorithms have gathered thousands of academic users worldwide and hundreds of citations, including > 30 papers in Cell and Nature series. We are currently working on bioinformatics development for 1) Transcription factor binding and histone modifications (ChIP-seq); 2) DNA methylation at single nucleotide resolution (Bisulfite-seq); 3) Nucleosome remodeling (Mnase-seq); 4) Alternative splicing (RNA-seq).
