ChIPseeker for ChIP peak annotation

ChIPpeakAnno WAS the only one R package for ChIP peak annotation. I used it for annotating peak in my recent study.
I found it does not consider the strand information of genes. I reported the bug to the authors, but they are reluctant to change.
So I decided to develop my own package, ChIPseeker, and it’s now available in Bioconductor.

annotatePeak function can accept peak file or GRanges object that contained peak information.
The sample peakfile shown above is a sample output from MACS. All the information contained in peakfile will be kept in the output of annotatePeak.
The annotation column annotates genomic features of the peak, that is whether peak is located in Promoter, Exon, UTR, Intron or Intergenic. If the peak is annotated by Exon or Intron, more detail information will be provided. For instance, Exon (38885 exon 3 of 11) indicates that the peak is located at the 3th exon of gene 38885 (entrezgene ID) which contain 11 exons in total.
All the names of column that contains information of nearest gene annotated will start with gene in camelCaps style.
If parameter annoDb=”org.Hs.eg.db” is provided, extra columns of ENSEMBL, SYMBOL and GENENAME will be provided in the final output.
For more detail, please refer to the package vignette. Comments or suggestions are welcome.
