What problem does it solve?
ATAC-seq experiments generate BAM alignments and peak calls; this skill provides automatic quality-control metrics to assess data quality, including TSS enrichment and fragment size distributions, enabling early detection of issues before downstream analysis. It is not intended for ChIP-seq data or general alignment statistics.
Core Features & Use Cases
- TSS enrichment scoring and fragment-size distribution analysis to assess library complexity and nucleosome patterning.
- FRiP calculation and generation of genome-assembly specific TSS reference files for downstream QC reporting.
- Outputs are organized under a project directory (e.g.,
${proj_dir}/all_atac_qc/...) and the workflow prompts for genome assembly and uses peak files alongside BAMs.
Quick Start
Initialize an ATAC-seq QC project with your filtered BAM and peak files, then run the QC workflow to produce per-sample metrics.
