The discovery of de novo global CCMPs, given a chromatin modification matrix for a set of promoters or a set of gene bodies, was used to identify frequent combinatorial patterns, which is a typical application of ARM. The pattern discovery procedure included adaption of ARM and interpretation of the patterns discovered. The procedure comprised the following steps: pre-processing and discretization, ARM rule generation, clustering of association rules for visualization, refinement of the patterns (Fig. 1), and interpretation of the patterns.
