Chromatin-profiles Tools

Chromap is an ultrafast method for aligning and preprocessing high throughput chromatin profiles. Typical use cases include: (1) trimming sequencing adapters, mapping bulk ATAC-seq or ChIP-seq genomic reads to the human genome and removing duplicates; (2) trimming sequencing adapters, mapping single cell ATAC-seq genomic reads to the human genome, correcting barcodes, removing duplicates and performing Tn5 shift; (3) split alignment of Hi-C reads against a reference genome. In all these three cases, Chromap is 10-20 times faster while being accurate.
