Hi Jessica,

We don't think you can do all of these steps in the Genome browser. 
However, the following may be useful to you:

A) Use a peak caller with the raw ChIP-Seq data to make peak calls; this 
would have to be done with peak calling software (see this previous 
mailing list question: 
https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2011-October/027472.html).

B) Load these peak calls into the genome browser as a custom track 
(using bed format).

C) Make gene calls from the ChIP-Seq peak data using the table browser. 
Use the table browser to create a custom track of the upstream and 
downstream regions of genes and intersect that with your ChIP-Seq peak 
data. This previous mailing list question explains how to make the 
custom track: 
https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2010-October/023862.html

You can now export these gene calls from the table browser into the 
software of your choice and intersect them with gene calls made with 
your microarray data using the microarray significance analysis software 
of your choosing.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions: [email protected]
