ATACseqTFEA

Transcription Factor Enrichment Analysis for ATAC-seq

Assay for Transpose-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) is a technique to assess genome-wide chromatin accessibility by probing open chromatin with hyperactive mutant Tn5 Transposase that inserts sequencing adapters into open regions of the genome. ATACseqTFEA is a improvement of current computational method that detects differential activity of transcription factors (TFs). ATACseqTFEA not only use the difference of open region information, but also (or emphasize) the difference of TFs footprints (cutting sites or insertion sites).

ATACseqTFEA provides an easy, rigorous way to broadly assess TF activity changes between two conditions.

Contributions and Support

If you would like to contribute to this package, the standard workflow is as follows:

1. Check that there isn't already an issue about your idea in the jianhong/ATACseqTFEA/issues to avoid duplicating work. If there isn't one already, please create one so that others know you're working on this
2. Fork the jianhong/ATACseqTFEA to your GitHub account
3. Make the necessary changes / additions within your forked repository following Bioconductor contribution
4. Use devtools::build and devtools::check to check the package work properly.
5. Submit a Pull Request against the master or current RELEASE_VERSION branch and wait for the code to be reviewed and merged

If you're not used to this workflow with git, you can start with some docs from GitHub or even their excellent git resources.

For further information or help, don't hesitate to get in touch on the Bioconductor support site.
