Genomic Distribution Of Peaks

Hi!

Is their any web application to determine genomic distribution of peaks (for the peak file generated by MACS)?

Thank you

chip-seq data analysis

I've used CEAS to do this, also from the Liu lab (the same folks responsible for MACS):

Personally I've downloaded the program to run locally, but I think there's an online version available in a Galaxy installation at:

http://cistrome.org/ap/

I am also using the web based version of CEAS through Galaxy/Cistrome and I was wondering if any other similar tool was available.

Do you mean you want to see these peak? Maybe UCSC Genome Browser can help you, refers to Shirley Pepke, Barbara Wold & Ali Mortazavi, Computation for ChIP-seq and RNA-seq studies. Nature Methods 6, S22 - S32 (2009).

No, I want to know number of peaks present in each genomic region. As an example consider you have 9000 peaks called by MACS, I want to know out of these 9000 thousand peaks how many are present in promoter region, intron, and intergenic regions.
