deeptools

Runs deepTools command-line programs on NGS alignment data: bamCoverage and bamCompare for BAM to bigWig/bedGraph with RPGC, CPM, RPKM or BPM normalization, multiBamSummary with plotCorrelation and plotPCA, plotFingerprint, computeMatrix with plotHeatmap and plotProfile, and alignmentSieve with —ATACshift. Use when converting BAM files to normalized coverage tracks. Use when checking ChIP-seq quality or comparing replicates. Use when plotting signal around TSS or peak regions. Use when comparing treatment versus control samples. Use when building ChIP-seq, RNA-seq or ATAC-seq coverage workflows. Not for peak calling or differential expression analysis.
