Peak calling was completed with the MACS2 pipeline [25 ]. Differential peak calling was completed with the DiffBind package using standard parameters [26 ].
To build heat maps for the RAD21 signal, we applied deepTools package [27 (link)], particularly, computeMatrix and plotHeatmap tools. H3K27ac tracks for the RPE1 cell line (GSM4194693) were used to map the RAD21 signal around acetylated regions.
