Genomic variability R

Hi,

I would have the need to have a quantitive information relatively to the genetic variability between two chromosomal regions of two or more human genomes.

I've tried with some R packages like ChIPpeakAnno and ChIPseeker without results.

Can I get some advice ?

Thanks and sorry for my imperfect english.

It is unclear to me what you mean by genetic variability. Are you looking for SNPs? (then unclear why using ChIP).

Thanks for answer. No, I'm not looking for SNPs. I need to understand if the chromosomal region of interest, in comparison, is a highly variable region or not. I need a mere quantitative data.

So you want to compare two chromosomal regions and tell whether they are similar or not? Like performing sequence alignment?

Yes! Extactly! Can you help me ?

If you are comparing alignments and read coverage I suggest using deepTools. We use it quite frequently to run correlation analyses across samples and generate basic heatmaps, etc. It's quite nice!
