What does Mango do?

Mango processes ChIA-PET sequencing data (in fastq format) and determines statistically significant DNA-DNA interactions (loops) between pairs of genomic loci bound by the target protein. Mango performs the following five steps which can run all at once or one at a time:

• Linker parsing: finds and removes linker sequences.
• Read alignment: aligns reads to the genome using bowtie.
• PET filtering: removes reads potential due to PCR duplication and organizes reads into bedpe format.
• Peak calling: calls DNA binding peaks using MACS2.
• Interaction calling: expceted interaction frequecnies are modeled based-on both peak depths and distances between peaks and statistically significant deviations are reported as interactions.
