165 | | * If you are working with other species or don't have replicates, you should run macs2 using pair-end bed as input and the options "--shift -75 --extsize 150". With those settings you will be creating a profile of reads around the cutting sites (one at each end of the fragment/paired read) that will result on peaks centered around the cutting sites (open chromatin). This is an important difference with ChIP-seq analysis. On ChIP-seq the binding event tends to be in the middle of the fragment; on ATAC-seq chromatin was opened where the cutting occurred and that is the end of the fragment.
