Abstract

We present an update to our Galaxy-based web server for processing and visualizing deeply sequenced data. Its core tool set, deepTools, allows users to perform complete bioinformatic workflows ranging from quality controls and normalizations of aligned reads to integrative analyses, including clustering and visualization approaches. Since we first described our deepTools Galaxy server in 2014, we have implemented new solutions for many requests from the community and our users. Here, we introduce significant enhancements and new tools to further improve data visualization and interpretation. deepTools continue to be open to all users and freely available as a web service at deeptools.ie-freiburg.mpg.de The new deepTools2 suite can be easily deployed within any Galaxy framework via the toolshed repository, and we also provide source code for command line usage under Linux and Mac OS X. A public and documented API for access to deepTools functionality is also available.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • ChIP-seq bigwigs were generated with scaling factors calculated using the formula (human reads in input) / (mouse reads in input) / (human reads in ChIP) x 15,000,000 to calibrate between mouse ESCs and human HEK spike-in.

    “Bigwigs were generated with the bamCoverage function from deepTools (82) with scaling factors calculated using the formula (human reads in input) / (mouse reads in input) / (human reads in ChIP) x 15000000 (83, 84).”
  • For genome-wide profiles and peak overlaps, CUT&Tag peaks were filtered for a minimum signal of 1000.

    “For genome-wide profiles and peak overlaps, peaks were filtered for a minimum signal of 1000 and then generated using the plotProfile function in deepTools2 (82) centered on peaks called from control (DMSO) cells and separated by replicate.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
