This is the development version of peakCombiner; for the stable release version, see peakCombiner.

The R package to curate and merge enriched genomic regions into consensus peak sets


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

peakCombiner, a fully R based, user-friendly, transparent, and customizable tool that allows even novice R users to create a high-quality consensus peak list. The modularity of its functions allows an easy way to optimize input and output data. A broad range of accepted input data formats can be used to create a consensus peak set that can be exported to a file or used as the starting point for most downstream peak analyses.
