Genome-wide extraction of reproducible continuous-valued signals hidden in noisy multisample functional genomics data

Consenrich

Consenrich is a sequential genome-wide state estimator for extraction of reproducible, spatially-resolved, epigenomic signals hidden in noisy multisample HTS data. The corresponding manuscript preprint is available on $$\text{bio}\textcolor{#960018}{R}\chi \text{iv}$$.

---

• Input:

  • $m \geq 1$ Sequence alignment files -t/--bam_files corresponding to each sample in a given HTS experiment
  • (Optional): $m_c = m$ control sample alignments, -c/--control_files, for each 'control' sample (e.g., ChIP-seq)

• Output:

  • Genome-wide 'consensus' epigenomic state estimates and uncertainty metrics (BedGraph/BigWig)

• Refer to Examples for a variety of detailed usage instances.

Features

• Consenrich explicitly models dynamic signal trends and noise profiles for each sample with scale-invariance $\implies$ Multi-sample, multi-assay estimation of target molecular states from related functional genomics assays, e.g., ChIP-seq + CUT-N-RUN, ATAC-seq + DNase-seq.

• Consenrich yields uncertainty-moderated signal tracks that effectively encompass multiple samples' epigenomic profiles $\implies$ Insightful data representation for profiling condition-specific regulatory landscapes (e.g., via consensus peak calling, differential analyses, etc.)

• Consenrich preserves legitimate spectral content while attenuating noise $\implies$ Improved comparison and profiling of condition-specific structural signatures discarded by enrichment-focused measures for HTS data.

Download/Install

Consenrich is available via PyPI/pip:

• python -m pip install consenrich

If lacking administrative privileges, running with flag --user may be necessary.
