NTAP: for NimbleGen tiling array ChIP-chip data analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY NTAP is designed to analyze ChIP-chip data generated by the NimbleGen tiling array platform and to accomplish various pattern recognition tasks that are useful especially for epigenetic studies. The modular design of NTAP makes the data processing highly customizable. Users can either use NTAP to perform the full process of NimbleGen tiling array data analysis, or choose post-processing modules in NTAP to analyze pre-processed epigenetic data generated by other platforms. The output of NTAP can be saved in standard GFF format files and visualized in GBrowse. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION The source code of NTAP is freely available at http://ntap.cbi.pku.edu.cn/. It is implemented in Perl and R and can be used on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms.

Basic Analysis of NimbleGen ChIP-on-chip Data using Bioconductor/R (PROT43)
Hybridization of chromatin immuno-precipitation (ChIP) material to tiling arrays at NimbleGen service facilities usually leaves the customer with a set of data files that are of limited use. Most information about the experiment is gained by either displaying immunoprecipitate(IP)/input ratio tracks (the GFF files provided) of individual hybridisation experiments with NimbleGen?s SignalMap soft...
متن کاملStarr: Simple Tiling ARRay analysis for Affymetrix ChIP-chip data
Starr is an extension of the Ringo [6] package for the analysis of ChIP-chip projects. Whereas the latter is specialized to the processing of Nimblegen and Agilent arrays, the former provides all corresponding features for Affymetrix arrays. Data can be read in from Affymetrix CEL-files, or from text files in gff format. Standard quality assessment and data normalization tools are available. St...
متن کاملUnsupervised classification for tiling arrays: ChIP-chip and transcriptome.
Tiling arrays make possible a large-scale exploration of the genome thanks to probes which cover the whole genome with very high density, up to 2,000,000 probes. Biological questions usually addressed are either the expression difference between two conditions or the detection of transcribed regions. In this work, we propose to consider both questions simultaneously as an unsupervised classific...
متن کاملChIP-Chip: algorithms for calling binding sites.
Genome-wide ChIP-chip assays of protein-DNA interactions yield large volumes of data requiring effective statistical analysis to obtain reliable results. Successful analysis methods need to be tailored to platform specific characteristics such as probe density, genome coverage, and the nature of the controls. We describe the use of the respective software packages MAT and MA2C for the analysis ...
متن کاملTiling Histone H3 Lysine 4 and 27 Methylation in Zebrafish Using High-Density Microarrays
BACKGROUND Uncovering epigenetic states by chromatin immunoprecipitation and microarray hybridization (ChIP-chip) has significantly contributed to the understanding of gene regulation at the genome-scale level. Many studies have been carried out in mice and humans; however limited high-resolution information exists to date for non-mammalian vertebrate species. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We report a 2...
