To lower this computational barrier, particularly in the early data exploration phases, we have developed an interactive pattern discovery and visualization approach, Spark, designed with epigenomic data in mind. Here we demonstrate Spark's ability to reveal both known and novel epigenetic signatures, including a previously unappreciated binding association between the YY1 transcription factor and the corepressor CTBP2 in human embryonic stem cells.}, URL = {http://genome.cshlp.org/content/22/11/2262.abstract}, eprint = {http://genome.cshlp.org/content/22/11/2262.full.pdf+html}, journal = {Genome Research} }
