footprint-tools: de novo genomic footprint detection

footprint-tools is a python module for de novo detection of genomic footprints from DNase I data by simulating expected cleavage rates using a 6-mer DNase I cleavage preference model combined with density smoothing. Statistical significance of per-nucleotide cleavages are computed from a series emperically fit negative binomial distribution.

Requirements

footprint-tools requires Python 3.6+

We also recommend these non-Python analysis tools:
