* We compare two sets of peaks (generated from two different peak-calling algorithms) to assess how much overlap can be found among them. Numbers displayed is the percentage of peaks in one set that are overlapped with at least one peak in another set. For each pair of peak sets, two percentages can be calculated by switching the order of the two sets. The higher percentage for each pair of peak sets is shown.
