Hi Alexander, The ENCODE analysis working group is working on creating a common normalization mechanism for all tracks of a certain class (e.g. ChIP-seq), but we are unsure when this will be available. Currently, signals aren't directly comparable between different labs and within labs some signals may not be directly comparable. We recommend that you contact the individual labs with your specific questions.
If you have further questions, please contact the mailing list: [email protected].

I mean can it be compared intensity of one signal and intensity of other one if they are from one source (for example ChIP-seq). Suppose I want to know what signal is REALLY stronger and compare values as numbers without any renormalization and other manipulations. Sure this question is about equivalence of all procedures from-cell-to-values across different studied objects (for example DNA-binding proteins). Best wishes, Alexander P.S. This e-mail can be represented elsewhere as it was with previous one. In this case it would be not bad. _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
