Histone modifications are major factors that define chromatin states and have functions in regulating gene expression in eukaryotic cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) technique has been widely used for profiling the genome-wide distribution of chromatin-associating protein factors. Some histone modifications, such as H3K27me3 and H3K9me3, usually mark broad domains in the genome ranging from kilobases (kb) to megabases (Mb) long, resulting in diffuse patterns in the ChIP-seq data that are challenging for signal separation. While most existing ChIP-seq peak-calling algorithms are based on local statistical models without account of multi-scale features, a principled method to identify scale-free board domains has been lacking. Here we present RECOGNICER (Recursive coarse-graining identification for ChIP-seq enriched regions), a computational method for identifying ChIP-seq enriched domains on a large range of scales. The algorithm is based on a coarse-graining approach, which uses recursive block transformations to determine spatial clustering of local enriched elements across multiple length scales. We apply RECOGNICER to call H3K27me3 domains from ChIP-seq data, and validate the results based on H3K27me3’s association with repressive gene expression. We show that RECOGNICER outperforms existing ChIP-seq broad domain calling tools in identifying more whole domains than separated pieces. RECOGNICER can be a useful bioinformatics tool for next-generation sequencing data analysis in epigenomics research. Histone modifications play an important role in defining chromatin states and regulating gene expression. Many histone modifications and other chromatin-binding protein factors can mark broad domains across multiple scales in the genome. From ChIP-seq data, such broad domains are more challenging to identify than sharp peaks. In this work, we present RECOGNICER, an innovative computational method for identifying cross-scale broad domains using a coarse-graining approach. RECOGNICER can be a useful tool for ChIP-seq data analysis.
