Replicates Incorporation

关于

Automates the processing of biological replicates in bioinformatics workflows to ensure experimental reproducibility and data consistency. It operates in two primary modes: Pre-Peak Calling, which merges multiple BAM files and creates balanced pseudo-replicates for robust peak detection, and Post-Peak Calling, which applies Irreproducible Discovery Rate (IDR) analysis or consensus strategies to filter non-reproducible peaks. This skill is essential for generating high-confidence 'conservative' or 'optimal' peak sets from narrow or broad ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq data, providing a standardized path from raw alignments to validated signal peaks.
