 This is a repository of analysis scripts for Hidden Markov Modelling of chromatin states, as used in Manon et al (in revision).
 
-> **Warning** These scripts are the distant forerunners of **ChroMATIC**, a complete gaussian Chromatin HMM analysis package that provides fully-automated analysis, machine-learning assignment of chromatin states, multi-modal inference and more.
