  MACS2 identifies transcription factor binding sites in ChIP-seq data.
---

MACS2 _(Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq)_ is a tool for identifying transcript
factor binding sites. MACS captures the influence of genome complexity to
evaluate the significance of enriched ChIP regions.

The MACS2 MultiQC module reads the `*_peaks.xls` results files and prints the
redundancy rates and number of peaks found in the General Statistics table.
Numerous additional values are parsed and saved to
`multiqc_data/multiqc_macs2.txt`.
