  • Tools to plot strand cross correlation for a ChIP-seq experiment

    Hi all,

    I'm looking for a tool which will allow me to plot the strand cross correlation of reads in some ChIp-seq data.

    The estimate.mean.fraglen() function in the chipseq R package uses a correlation method to estimate fragment size, but gives me an answer far off what I'd expect - ~570bp rather than 200bp. The other methods the function can use give me ~200bp (SISSR) and ~380bp (coverage).

    I'd like to plot the strand cross correlation to see why this might be happening. I've found this tool: http://code.google.com/p/phantompeakqualtools/, which is based on SPP (http://compbio.med.harvard.edu/Supplements/ChIP-seq/) but I am having trouble installing all the necessary dependencies on the lab server. Does anyone know of any alternatives? I don't need the peak-calling functionality of SPP, just the correlation plots.

    Thank you!

    in principle you just need strand-specific coverage vectors of your ChIP signals and use the 'ccf' function in R to cross-correlate the two.


    some remarks:
    - why do you expect 570 bp?
    - I once compared the true average fragment size obtained by paired-end sequencing and the one calculated by cross-correlation. Result: way different!

      I don't expect 570bp, I expect 200bp! Sorry if that wasn't clear.

      I'll have a go with the ccf function, thanks.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
