Benchmarking against ChIAPET

Recent sequencing technologies enable joint quantification of promoters and their enhancer regions, allowing inference of enhancer–promoter links. We show that current enhancer–promoter inference methods produce a high rate of false positive links. We introduce FOCS, a new inference method, and by benchmarking against ChIAPET, HiChIP, and eQTL data show that it results in lower false discovery rates and at the same time higher inference power.
