In order to do so, our package combines strategies from different BioConductor packages: \emph{DESeq} for data normalization, \emph{ChIPpeakAnno} and \emph{DiffBind} for annotation and definition of ChIP-Seq genomic peaks, \emph{csaw} to define optimal peak width and \emph{viper} for applying a regulatory network over a differential binding signature. This data package contains a subset of a ChIP-Seq experiment where MCF7 cell lines were treated with estradiol and left incubating for 45 and 90 minutes. The data is avaialable as BAM/BED/BAI files (one per sample) to illustrate how a \emph{vulcan} pipeline could be executed on raw ChIP-Seq data. The dataset caontains four replicates per time point (0, 45 and 90 minutes), including only chromosome 22 peaks for the sake of example feasibility. The vulcandata package contains also a dummy network of the \emph{regulon} class as specified by the \emph{viper} package. The package comes with a function, \emph{vulcansheet}, which promptly generates a system-specific sample sheet for the dataset contained here, following the style of a \emph{DiffBind} sample sheet. %-------- \section{Citation} Giorgi FM, Holding AN \& Markowetz F.
