Abstract: ChIP-Seq is a massive sequencing method to identify protein-DNA binding sites. Its application to the study of histone and transcription factor binding profiles in the human genome provides insight into the relevance of these proteins in processes such as cell differentiation and disease pathogenesis. The Bioconductor project offers software packages in R for the analysis of ChIP-Seq data, providing an easily accessible, low computational cost and highly versatile alternative to other tools. In this work we proposed as objectives: 1) The search and selection of R/Bioconductor packages; 2) The search and selection of ideal data sets to apply the packages; 3) The design of a ChIP-Seq data analysis pipeline. This pipeline was designed to perform functional annotation and DNA motif identification on data from three typical experimental scenarios: 1) ChIP-Seq in different biological replicates; 2) ChIP-Seq in two different conditions; 3) ChIP-Seq in different cell lines. The resulting pipeline combines the ChIPSeeker and ChIPpeakAnno packages; rGREAT for motif analysis, among other packages. The results indicate that: 1) ChIPpeakAnno is more flexible and specific for functional annotation of peaks; 2)ChIPseeker offers a greater variety of options for visualizing data; 3) Both packages complement each other well in their strengths and weaknesses, being more useful together than separately; 4) rGREAT meets the basic requirements for motif analysis, but has a limited catalog of functions.
