Large-scale cluster-based Internet services often host partitioned datasets to provide incremental scalability. The aggregation of results produced from multiple partitions is a f...
Background: Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), coupled with massively parallel short-read sequencing (seq) is used to probe chromatin dynamics. Although there are many algorith...
