This package implements functions to retrieve the nearest genes around
the peak, annotate genomic region of the peak, statstical methods for
estimate the significance of overlap among ChIP peak data sets, and
incorporate GEO database for user to compare their own dataset with
those deposited in database. The comparison can be used to infer
cooperative regulation and thus can be used to generate hypotheses.
Several visualization functions are implemented to summarize the
coverage of the peak experiment, average profile and heatmap of peaks
binding to TSS regions, genomic annotation, distance to TSS, and overlap
of peaks or genes.
