Introduction
With the improvement of sequencing techniques, chromatinimmunoprecipitation followed by high throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq)is getting popular to study genome-wide protein-DNA interactions. Toaddress the lack of powerful ChIP-Seq analysis method, we presentedthe Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq (MACS), foridentifying transcript factor binding sites. MACS captures theinfluence of genome complexity to evaluate the significance ofenriched ChIP regions and MACS improves the spatial resolution ofbinding sites through combining the information of both sequencing tagposition and orientation. MACS can be easily used for ChIP-Seq dataalone, or with a control sample with the increase ofspecificity. Moreover, as a general peak-caller, MACS can also beapplied to any 'DNA enrichment assays' if the question to be asked issimply: where we can find significant reads coverage than the randombackground.

We only cover callpeak
subcommand in this document. Please usemacs2 COMMAND -h
to see the detail description for each option ofeach subcommand.
Call peaks
This is the main function in MACS2. It can be invoked by macs2 callpeak
. If you type this command with -h
, you will see a fulldescription of command-line options. Here we only list the essentials.
Essential Options
-t
/--treatment FILENAME
This is the only REQUIRED parameter for MACS. The file can be in anysupported format -- see detail in the --format
option. If you havemore than one alignment file, you can specify them as -t A B C
. MACSwill pool up all these files together.
-c
/--control
The control, genomic input or mock IP data file. Please follow thesame direction as for -t
/--treatment
.
-n
/--name
The name string of the experiment. MACS will use this string NAME tocreate output files like NAME_peaks.xls
, NAME_negative_peaks.xls
,NAME_peaks.bed
, NAME_summits.bed
, NAME_model.r
and so on. Soplease avoid any confliction between these filenames and your existingfiles.
--outdir
MACS2 will save all output files into the specified folder for thisoption. A new folder will be created if necessary.
-f
/--format FORMAT
Format of tag file can be ELAND
, BED
, ELANDMULTI
, ELANDEXPORT
,SAM
, BAM
, BOWTIE
, BAMPE
, or BEDPE
. Default is AUTO
whichwill allow MACS to decide the format automatically. AUTO
is alsouseful when you combine different formats of files. Note that MACScan't detect BAMPE
or BEDPE
format with AUTO
, and you have toimplicitly specify the format for BAMPE
and BEDPE
.

Nowadays, the most common formats are BED
or BAM
(includingBEDPE
and BAMPE
). Our recommendation is to convert your data toBED
or BAM
first.
Also, MACS2 can detect and read gzipped file. For example, .bed.gz
file can be directly used without being uncompressed with --format BED
.
Here are detailed explanation of the recommanded formats:
BED
The BED format can be found at UCSC genome browserwebsite.
Download Clippy For Mac 1.2.9.beta 18 Free
The essential columns in BED format input are the 1st columnchromosome name
, the 2nd start position
, the 3rd end position
,and the 6th, strand
.
Note that, for BED
format, the 6th column of strand information isrequired by MACS. And please pay attention that the coordinates in BEDformat are zero-based and half-open. See more detail atUCSC site.
BAM
/SAM
If the format is BAM
/SAM
, please check the definition in(http://samtools.sourceforge.net/samtools.shtml). If the BAM
file isgenerated for paired-end data, MACS will only keep the left mate(5'end) tag. However, when format BAMPE
is specified, MACS will use thereal fragments inferred from alignment results for reads pileup.
BEDPE
or BAMPE
Download Clippy For Mac 1.2.9.beta18
A special mode will be triggered while the format is specified asBAMPE
or BEDPE
. In this way, MACS2 will process the BAM
or BED
files as paired-end data. Instead of building a bimodal distributionof plus and minus strand reads to predict fragment size, MACS2 willuse actual insert sizes of pairs of reads to build fragment pileup.
The BAMPE
format is just a BAM
format containing paired-end alignmentinformation, such as those from BWA
or BOWTIE
.
The BEDPE
format is a simplified and more flexible BED
format,which only contains the first three columns defining the chromosomename, left and right position of the fragment from Paired-endsequencing. Please note, this is NOT the same format used byBEDTOOLS
, and the BEDTOOLS
version of BEDPE
is actually not in astandard BED
format. You can use MACS2 subcommand randsample
toconvert a BAM
file containing paired-end information to a BEDPE
format file:
-g
/--gsize
PLEASE assign this parameter to fit your needs!
It's the mappable genome size or effective genome size which isdefined as the genome size which can be sequenced. Because of therepetitive features on the chromosomes, the actual mappable genomesize will be smaller than the original size, about 90% or 70% of thegenome size. The default hs -- 2.7e9 is recommended for humangenome. Here are all precompiled parameters for effective genome size:
- hs: 2.7e9
- mm: 1.87e9
- ce: 9e7
- dm: 1.2e8

Users may want to use k-mer tools to simulate mapping of Xbps longreads to target genome, and to find the ideal effective genomesize. However, usually by taking away the simple repeats and Ns fromthe total genome, one can get an approximate number of effectivegenome size. A slight difference in the number won't cause a bigdifference of peak calls, because this number is used to estimate agenome-wide noise level which is usually the least significant onecompared with the local biases modeled by MACS.
-s
/--tsize
The size of sequencing tags. If you don't specify it, MACS will try touse the first 10 sequences from your input treatment file to determinethe tag size. Specifying it will override the automatically determinedtag size.
-q
/--qvalue
The q-value (minimum FDR) cutoff to call significant regions. Defaultis 0.05. For broad marks, you can try 0.05 as the cutoff. Q-values arecalculated from p-values using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure.
-p
/--pvalue
The p-value cutoff. If -p
is specified, MACS2 will use p-value insteadof q-value.
--min-length
, --max-gap
These two options can be used to fine-tune the peak calling behaviorby specifying the minimum length of a called peak and the maximumallowed a gap between two nearby regions to be merged. In other words,a called peak has to be longer than min-length
, and if the distancebetween two nearby peaks is smaller than max-gap
then they will bemerged as one. If they are not set, MACS2 will set the DEFAULT valuefor min-length
as the predicted fragment size d
, and the DEFAULTvalue for max-gap
as the detected read length. Note, if you set amin-length
value smaller than the fragment size, it may have NOeffect on the result. For broad peak calling with --broad
optionset, the DEFAULT max-gap
for merging nearby stronger peaks will bethe same as narrow peak calling, and 4 times of the max-gap
will beused to merge nearby weaker (broad) peaks. You can also use--cutoff-analysis
option with the default setting, and check thecolumn avelpeak
under different cutoff values to decide a reasonablemin-length
value.

--nolambda
With this flag on, MACS will use the background lambda as locallambda. This means MACS will not consider the local bias at peakcandidate regions.
--slocal
, --llocal
These two parameters control which two levels of regions will bechecked around the peak regions to calculate the maximum lambda aslocal lambda. By default, MACS considers 1000bp for small localregion(--slocal
), and 10000bps for large local region(--llocal
)which captures the bias from a long-range effect like an openchromatin domain. You can tweak these according to yourproject. Remember that if the region is set too small, a sharp spikein the input data may kill a significant peak.
--nomodel
While on, MACS will bypass building the shifting model.
--extsize
While --nomodel
is set, MACS uses this parameter to extend reads in5'->3' direction to fix-sized fragments. For example, if the size ofthe binding region for your transcription factor is 200 bp, and youwant to bypass the model building by MACS, this parameter can be setas 200. This option is only valid when --nomodel
is set or when MACSfails to build model and --fix-bimodal
is on.
--shift
Note, this is NOT the legacy --shiftsize
option which is replaced by--extsize
! You can set an arbitrary shift in bp here. Please Usediscretion while setting it other than the default value (0). When--nomodel
is set, MACS will use this value to move cutting ends (5')then apply --extsize
from 5' to 3' direction to extend them tofragments. When this value is negative, ends will be moved toward3'->5' direction, otherwise 5'->3' direction. Recommended to keep itas default 0 for ChIP-Seq datasets, or -1 * half of EXTSIZE togetherwith --extsize
option for detecting enriched cutting loci such ascertain DNAseI-Seq datasets. Note, you can't set values other than 0if the format is BAMPE or BEDPE for paired-end data. The default is 0.
Here are some examples for combining --shift
and --extsize
:
To find enriched cutting sites such as some DNAse-Seq datasets. Inthis case, all 5' ends of sequenced reads should be extended in bothdirections to smooth the pileup signals. If the wanted smoothingwindow is 200bps, then use
--nomodel --shift -100 --extsize 200
.For certain nucleosome-seq data, we need to pile up the centers ofnucleosomes using a half-nucleosome size for wavelet analysis(e.g. NPS algorithm). Since the DNA wrapped on nucleosome is about147bps, this option can be used:
--nomodel --shift 37 --extsize 73
.
--keep-dup
It controls the MACS behavior towards duplicate tags at the exact samelocation -- the same coordination and the same strand. The defaultauto
option makes MACS calculate the maximum tags at the exact samelocation based on binomial distribution using 1e-5 as p-value cutoff;and the all
option keeps every tag. If an integer is given, at mostthis number of tags will be kept at the same location. The default isto keep one tag at the same location. Default: 1
--broad
When this flag is on, MACS will try to composite broad regions inBED12 ( a gene-model-like format ) by putting nearby highly enrichedregions into a broad region with loose cutoff. The broad region iscontrolled by another cutoff through --broad-cutoff
. Please notethat, the max-gap
value for merging nearby weaker/broad peaks is 4times of max-gap
for merging nearby stronger peaks. The later onecan be controlled by --max-gap
option, and by default it is theaverage fragment/insertion length in the PE data. DEFAULT: False
--broad-cutoff
Cutoff for the broad region. This option is not available unless--broad
is set. If -p
is set, this is a p-value cutoff, otherwise,it's a q-value cutoff. DEFAULT: 0.1
--scale-to <large small>
When set to large
, linearly scale the smaller dataset to the samedepth as the larger dataset. By default or being set as small
, thelarger dataset will be scaled towards the smaller dataset. Beware, toscale up small data would cause more false positives.
-B
/--bdg
If this flag is on, MACS will store the fragment pileup, controllambda in bedGraph files. The bedGraph files will be stored in thecurrent directory named NAME_treat_pileup.bdg
for treatment data,NAME_control_lambda.bdg
for local lambda values from control.
--call-summits
MACS will now reanalyze the shape of signal profile (p or q-scoredepending on the cutoff setting) to deconvolve subpeaks within eachpeak called from the general procedure. It's highly recommended todetect adjacent binding events. While used, the output subpeaks of abig peak region will have the same peak boundaries, and differentscores and peak summit positions.
--buffer-size
MACS uses a buffer size for incrementally increasing internal arraysize to store reads alignment information for each chromosome orcontig. To increase the buffer size, MACS can run faster but willwaste more memory if certain chromosome/contig only has very fewreads. In most cases, the default value 100000 works fine. However, ifthere are a large number of chromosomes/contigs in your alignment andreads per chromosome/contigs are few, it's recommended to specify asmaller buffer size in order to decrease memory usage (but it willtake longer time to read alignment files). Minimum memory requestedfor reading an alignment file is about # of CHROMOSOME * BUFFER_SIZE *8 Bytes. DEFAULT: 100000
Output files
NAME_peaks.xls
is a tabular file which contains information aboutcalled peaks. You can open it in excel and sort/filter using excelfunctions. Information include:- chromosome name
- start position of peak
- end position of peak
- length of peak region
- absolute peak summit position
- pileup height at peak summit
- -log10(pvalue) for the peak summit (e.g. pvalue =1e-10, thenthis value should be 10)
- fold enrichment for this peak summit against random Poissondistribution with local lambda,
- -log10(qvalue) at peak summit
Coordinates in XLS is 1-based which is different from BEDformat. When
--broad
is enabled for broad peak calling, thepileup, p-value, q-value, and fold change in the XLS file will bethe mean value across the entire peak region, since peak summitwon't be called in broad peak calling mode.NAME_peaks.narrowPeak
is BED6+4 format file which contains thepeak locations together with peak summit, p-value, and q-value. Youcan load it to the UCSC genome browser. Definition of some specificcolumns are:- 5th: integer score for display. It's calculated as
int(-10*log10pvalue)
orint(-10*log10qvalue)
depending onwhether-p
(pvalue) or-q
(qvalue) is used as scorecutoff. Please note that currently this value might be out of the[0-1000] range defined in UCSC ENCODE narrowPeakformat. Youcan let the value saturated at 1000 (i.e. p/q-value = 10^-100) byusing the following 1-liner awk:awk -v OFS='t' '{$5=$5>1000?1000:$5} {print}' NAME_peaks.narrowPeak
- 7th: fold-change at peak summit
- 8th: -log10pvalue at peak summit
- 9th: -log10qvalue at peak summit
- 10th: relative summit position to peak start
The file can be loaded directly to the UCSC genome browser. Removethe beginning track line if you want to analyze it by other tools.
- 5th: integer score for display. It's calculated as
NAME_summits.bed
is in BED format, which contains the peaksummits locations for every peak. The 5th column in this file isthe same as what is in thenarrowPeak
file. If you want to findthe motifs at the binding sites, this file is recommended. The filecan be loaded directly to the UCSC genome browser. Remove thebeginning track line if you want to analyze it by other tools.NAME_peaks.broadPeak
is in BED6+3 format which is similar tonarrowPeak
file, except for missing the 10th column forannotating peak summits. This file and thegappedPeak
file willonly be available when--broad
is enabled. Since in the broadpeak calling mode, the peak summit won't be called, the values inthe 5th, and 7-9th columns are the mean value across all positionsin the peak region. Refer tonarrowPeak
if you want to fix thevalue issue in the 5th column.NAME_peaks.gappedPeak
is in BED12+3 format which contains boththe broad region and narrow peaks. The 5th column is the score forshowing grey levels on the UCSC browser as innarrowPeak
. The 7this the start of the first narrow peak in the region, and the 8thcolumn is the end. The 9th column should be RGB color key, however,we keep 0 here to use the default color, so change it if youwant. The 10th column tells how many blocks including the starting1bp and ending 1bp of broad regions. The 11th column shows thelength of each block and 12th for the start of each block. 13th:fold-change, 14th: -log10pvalue, 15th: -log10qvalue. The file canbe loaded directly to the UCSC genome browser. Refer tonarrowPeak
if you want to fix the value issue in the 5th column.NAME_model.r
is an R script which you can use to produce a PDFimage of the model based on your data. Load it to R by:$ Rscript NAME_model.r
Then a pdf file
NAME_model.pdf
will be generated in your currentdirectory. Note, R is required to draw this figure.The
NAME_treat_pileup.bdg
andNAME_control_lambda.bdg
files arein bedGraph format which can be imported to the UCSC genome browseror be converted into even smaller bigWig files. TheNAME_treat_pielup.bdg
contains the pileup signals (normalizedaccording to--scale-to
option) from ChIP/treatment sample. TheNAME_control_lambda.bdg
contains local biases estimated for eachgenomic location from the control sample, or from treatment samplewhen the control sample is absent. The subcommandbdgcmp
can beused to compare these two files and make a bedGraph file of scoressuch as p-value, q-value, log-likelihood, and log fold changes.

Tips of fine-tuning peak calling
There are several subcommands within MACSv2 package to fine-tune orcustomize your analysis:
bdgcmp
can be used on*_treat_pileup.bdg
and*_control_lambda.bdg
or bedGraph files from other resources tocalculate the score track.bdgpeakcall
can be used on*_treat_pvalue.bdg
or the filegenerated from bdgcmp or bedGraph file from other resources to callpeaks with given cutoff, maximum-gap between nearby mergeable peaksand a minimum length of peak. bdgbroadcall works similarly tobdgpeakcall, however, it will output_broad_peaks.bed
in BED12format.Differential calling tool --
bdgdiff
, can be used on 4 bedGraphfiles which are scores between treatment 1 and control 1, treatment2 and control 2, treatment 1 and treatment 2, treatment 2 andtreatment 1. It will output consistent and unique sites accordingto parameter settings for minimum length, the maximum gap andcutoff.You can combine subcommands to do a step-by-step peak calling.
