Summary: DNase I footprinting analysis of DNase-seq data in R

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

Description

DNaseR is an R package that enables the identification of protein binding footprints in DNase I hypersensitive sites sequencing (DNase-seq) data. It relies on the Skellam distribution (correlation of two Poisson distributions) to detect narrow-depleted regions of read-enrichment formed by the mapped reads in the forward and reversed DNA strands. Its main characteristic consists in that consensus DNA sequences (motifs) search is not required a priori to detect footprints.
