 * [nf-core/atacseq#76](https://github.com/nf-core/atacseq/issues/76) - featureCounts coupled to DESeq2
 * [nf-core/atacseq#79](https://github.com/nf-core/atacseq/issues/79) - Parallelize DESeq2
 * [nf-core/atacseq#97](https://github.com/nf-core/atacseq/issues/97) - PBC1, PBC2 from pipeline?
+* [nf-core/atacseq#107](https://github.com/nf-core/atacseq/issues/107) - Add options to change MACS2 parameters
 * [nf-core/atacseq#109](https://github.com/nf-core/atacseq/issues/109) - Specify custom gtf but gene bed is not generated from that gtf?
 * Regenerated screenshots and added collapsible sections for output files in `docs/output.md`
 * Update template to tools `1.9`
 * Replace `set` with `tuple` and `file()` with `path()` in all processes
 * Capitalise process names
 * Parameters:
+    * `--macs_fdr` to provide FDR threshold for MACS2 peak calling
+    * `--macs_pvalue` to provide p-value threshold for MACS2 peak calling
     * `--skip_peak_qc` to skip MACS2 peak QC plot generation
     * `--skip_peak_annotation` to skip annotation of MACS2 and consensus peaks with HOMER
     * `--skip_consensus_peaks` to skip consensus peak generation

 Specifies broad cut-off value for MACS2. Only used when `--narrow_peak` isnt specified (Default: `0.1`).
 
+### `--macs_fdr`
+
+Minimum FDR (q-value) cutoff for peak detection, `--macs_fdr` and `--macs_pvalue` are mutually exclusive (Default: false).

+### `--macs_pvalue`
+
+p-value cutoff for peak detection, `--macs_fdr` and `--macs_pvalue` are mutually exclusive (Default: false). If `--macs_pvalue` cutoff is set, q-value will not be calculated and reported as -1 in the final .xls file.
+
 ### `--min_reps_consensus`
 
 Number of biological replicates required from a given condition for a peak to contribute to a consensus peak . If you are confident you have good reproducibility amongst your replicates then you can increase the value of this parameter to create a "reproducible" set of consensus of peaks. For example, a value of 2 will mean peaks that have been called in at least 2 replicates will contribute to the consensus set of peaks, and as such peaks that are unique to a given replicate will be discarded.
