visualisation of chip-seq profiles ... seqminer?

[sbrohee]

Dear chip-seq experts ,

My boss would like to have fancy chip-seq profiles (reads arounds TSS) for ... yesterday!
I am quite new to the chip-seq world and I was already very happy to have extracted peaks from his data.

Would you know a tool that allows an easy peak visualization starting from the bowtie alignement files? I read that seqminer was able to perform this kind of task but was unable to use it.

After having loaded my bowtie file, I get an error : "you haven't chosen a peak reference" and I am quite lost!

I don't absolutely want to use seqminer and I'm not reluctant to use R or another tool that could be more appropriate.

So, if you get an idea, please, give me a hint. To my opinion, it should not be that difficult, isn't it?

Thank you all for your help,

Sylvain

Hi Sylvain,
You may want to try our tool for peak profiles and heatmaps:

http://code.google.com/p/ibm-cbc-genomic-tools/

The issue with this kind of visual representations is that every case seems to be different, because everybody wants slight variations of the same thing :-) Anyway, try out our tool if you like (make sure you download the latest version), and let me know if you have questions!

Hi Ari,

Thanks for your proposition, I'll try your tool!

However, as I did not get any answer in the beginning, I decided to implement my own tool myself (very simple, in fact). I don't know if I'll make it available publicly cause the code is pretty ugly (mix of R and Perl) but the idea is to give a GTF and a WIG file as input, to specify a gene, and it produces the kind of output in attachment.

Of course, if my tool interests someone, I'll be more than happy to share the (awful code)

Cheers,

Sylvain

Dear all,

I just finished the web implementation of my small visualization tool for binding profiles.

Interested users can test it on http://rsat.ulb.ac.be/~sylvain/binding_profiles/binding_profiles_form.php]this adress

Any feedback is welcome, of course!

Dear all,

My tool, called D-peaks, has just been published in Transcription. I think I can now close the subject.

La boucle est bouclée.
