How does quantile normalzationwork for sequencing tracks, for instance ChIP seq?

05 May 2018 0 3K Report

I understand the basic concept of quantile normalization, but am wondering how exactly that works for sequencing data. Say there are two sequencing tracks, where one has more background noise. How would quantile normalization work on those?
