When to account for the blacklisted genomic regions in ChIP-seq data analyses?
Aside: Cross-correlation is largely meaningless, regardless of what some of the ENCODE folks might argue. When we process our DEEP samples we don't even look at that value.
Regardless, if you're ...

Hypergeometic test for the overlap of two set of genomic intervals (e.g. from Chip-seq data)
There is no such thing as a hypergeometric test, at least in statistical textbooks. It's a fisher test based on hypergeometric distribution.
