TF-differential-binding
The TF-differential-binding pipeline performs differential transcription factor (TF) binding analysis from ChIP-seq datasets (TF peaks) using the DiffBind package in R. It identifies genomic regions where TF binding intensity significantly differs between experimental conditions (e.g., treatment vs. control, mutant vs. wild-type). Use the TF-differential-binding pipeline when you need to analyze the different function of the same TF across two or more biological conditions, cell types, or treatments using ChIP-seq data or TF binding peaks. This pipeline is ideal for studying regulatory mechanisms that underlie transcriptional differences or epigenetic responses to perturbations.
motif-scanning
This skill identifies the locations of known transcription factor (TF) binding motifs within genomic regions such as ChIP-seq or ATAC-seq peaks. It utilizes HOMER to search for specific sequence motifs defined by position-specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) from known motif databases. Use this skill when you need to detect the presence and precise genomic coordinates of known TF binding motifs within experimentally defined regions such as ChIP-seq or ATAC-seq peaks.
track-generation
This skill generates normalized BigWig (.bw) tracks (and/or fold-change tracks) from BAM files for ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq visualization. It handles normalization (RPM or fold-change) and Tn5 offset correction automatically. Use this skill when you have filtered and generated the clean BAM file (e.g. `*.filtered.bam`).
peak-calling
Perform peak calling for ChIP-seq or ATAC-seq data using MACS2, with intelligent parameter detection from user feedback. Use it when you want to call peaks for ChIP-seq data or ATAC-seq data.
chromatin-state-inference
This skill should be used when users need to infer chromatin states from histone modification ChIP-seq data using chromHMM. It provides workflows for chromatin state segmentation, model training, state annotation.
differential-region-analysis
The differential-region-analysis pipeline identifies genomic regions exhibiting significant differences in signal intensity between experimental conditions using a count-based framework and DESeq2. It supports detection of both differentially accessible regions (DARs) from open-chromatin assays (e.g., ATAC-seq, DNase-seq) and differential transcription factor (TF) binding regions from TF-centric assays (e.g., ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, CUT&Tag). The pipeline can start from aligned BAM files or a precomputed count matrix and is suitable whenever genomic signal can be summarized as read counts per region.
ChIPseq-QC
Performs ChIP-specific biological validation. It calculates metrics unique to protein-binding assays, such as Cross-correlation (NSC/RSC) and FRiP. Use this when you have filtered the BAM file and called peaks for ChIP-seq data. Do NOT use this skill for ATAC-seq data or general alignment statistics.
known-motif-enrichment
This skill should be used when users need to perform known motif enrichment analysis on ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, or other genomic peak files using HOMER (Hypergeometric Optimization of Motif EnRichment). It identifies enrichment of known transcription factor binding motifs from established databases in genomic regions.
