What problem does it solve?
This skill addresses the complexity of single-cell chromatin accessibility analysis by providing a reproducible, evidence-based pipeline that prevents common bioinformatics pitfalls like technical confounding and hallucinated results.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated QC & Processing: Performs rigorous TSS enrichment, fragment-size distribution analysis, and doublet filtering using snapATAC2.
- Regulatory Insight: Enables peak calling, motif activity analysis via pychromVAR, and peak-gene linkage to identify potential regulatory elements.
- Use Case: A researcher needs to process a 10x scATAC-seq dataset to identify cell-type-specific enhancers; this skill orchestrates the entire workflow from fragment import to motif enrichment while recording every tool call as evidence.
Quick Start
Use the omics-scatac skill to perform quality control and peak calling on the provided fragments file for a single-cell ATAC-seq experiment.
