Hello,

I'm trying to run DiffBind with my ChIP-seq data. I do not want to subtract control reads from ChIP reads, which should be controlled by bSubControl in dba.count(). However, the parameter does not seem to be available to me. I also did not run grey list analysis.

> ?dba.count

Usage:

     dba.count(DBA, peaks, minOverlap=2, score=DBA_SCORE_NORMALIZED,
               fragmentSize=DBA$config$fragmentSize,
               summits=200, filter=5, bRemoveDuplicates=FALSE, bScaleControl=TRUE,
               mapQCth=DBA$config$mapQCth, filterFun=max, minCount=0,
               bLog=FALSE, bUseSummarizeOverlaps=TRUE,
               readFormat=DBA_READS_DEFAULT, bParallel=DBA$config$RunParallel)

I really appreciate any help. Thank you!

The bSubControl parameter has been restored to dba.count(), you just need to update. Current version is DiffBind_3.0.12.

New behavior is for bSubControl to be TRUE by default if there are no greylists, so as you expect, you'll need to set it to FALSE.
