ATAC-seq Quality Control

소개

Automate the quality control process for chromatin accessibility experiments with specialized biological validation tools. This skill processes filtered BAM and peak files to compute critical metrics such as Transcription Start Site (TSS) enrichment scores, nucleosome banding patterns, and the Fraction of Reads in Peaks (FRiP). By leveraging the ataqv framework, it helps researchers ensure their sequencing data meets rigorous biological standards, providing both interactive HTML reports and structured JSON metrics for downstream epigenomic analysis.
