SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies complex Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis, enabling researchers to quickly process, visualize, and interpret genomic data without deep command-line expertise.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Data Conversion & Normalization: Convert BAM files to normalized bigWig tracks for visualization.
  • Quality Control: Assess sample quality, correlation, and enrichment using various metrics.
  • Visualization: Generate heatmaps and profile plots around genomic features (e.g., TSS, peaks).
  • Use Case: A biologist needs to compare ChIP-seq signal between a treated and control sample. This Skill can generate normalized coverage tracks, compute a log2 ratio, and visualize signal enrichment around known peak regions.

Quick Start

Use the deeptools skill to generate a quality control heatmap for your ChIP-seq BAM files.
