Dear Bioconductor community,

	DNase-seq has been used to measure chromatin accessibility in a given
tissue or cell type on a genome-wide scale. In addition to DNaseI
hypersensitivite sites (DHSs), short regions of protected nucleotides
known as footprints can be detected, indicating transcription factor
binding ocuppancy events.

	DNaseR, a new package for DNase I footprinting analysis of DNase-seq
data will be released in the upcoming version of Bioconductor. Devel
version is
at: http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.13/bioc/html/DNaseR.html [1]

	DNaseR aims to detect protein binding footprints in DNase-seq data
from reads in BAM standard aligment format.

	Comments are very wellcome.
