Annotates ChIP-seq peaks to genomic features, nearest genes, ENCODE candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs), and regulatory domains. Uses ChIPseeker (R), HOMER annotatePeaks.pl (CLI), pyranges (Python), GREAT/rGREAT (regulatory domain gene-set enrichment), ChIP-Enrich (locus-length-adjusted), ENCODE SCREEN cCRE classification (PLS/pELS/dELS/CA-CTCF/CA-H3K4me3), and ENCODE-rE2G for cell-type-specific enhancer-gene linking. Handles nearest-TSS vs host-gene ambiguity, promoter window definition, and feature priority. Use when assigning genomic context to peaks, linking enhancer peaks to target genes, classifying peaks against ENCODE cCRE registry, or running gene-set enric…
