ChIP-seq Peak calling from BED or WIG file

Question

[gspirito]

Hello everyone, here's my question:

I retrieved ChIP-seq data from ENCODE (bed and wig format):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/download/?acc=GSM772833&format=file&file=GSM772833%5FBI%2EBrain%5FMid%5FFrontal%5FLobe%2EH3K27me3%2E149%2Ebed%2Egz https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/download/?acc=GSM772833&format=file&file=GSM772833%5FBI%2EBrain%5FMid%5FFrontal%5FLobe%2EH3K27me3%2E149%2Ewig%2Egz

The bed files contains information about all mapped reads (~25 millions):

chr1 9985 10184 B09EJABXX110518:6:1105:16310:167305 0 -

chr1 9997 10196 B09EJABXX110518:6:2208:11946:182038 0 -

chr1 12882 13081 B09EJABXX110518:4:1107:18270:92118 0 -

.....

How would I convert one of these two files (either the bed or the wig) to a bed file containing the coordinates of the peaks?

Thanks in advance.

Peak callers such as macs can use BED files that contain read coordinates to return peak lists.

Something basically like:

https://github.com/macs3-project/MACS

macs2 callpeak -t that_bed_file.bed -f BED
