This skill manages experimental reproducibility, pooling, and consensus strategies. This skill operates in two distinct modes based on the input state. (1) Pre-Peak Calling (BAM Mode): It merges all BAMs, generate the merge BAM file to prepare for track generation and (if provided with >3 biological replicates) splits them into 2 balanced "pseudo-replicates" to prepare for peak calling. (2) Post-Peak Calling (Peak Mode): If provided with peak files (only support two replicates, derived from either 2 true replicates or 2 pseudo-replicates), it performs IDR (Irreproducible Discovery Rate) analysis, filters non-reproducible peaks, and generates a final "conservative" or "optimal" consensus peak set. Trigger this skill when you need to handle more than two replicates (creating pseudo-reps) OR when you need to merge peak lists.

chipseq-qc

Performs ChIP-specific biological validation. It calculates metrics unique to protein-binding assays, such as Cross-correlation (NSC/RSC) and FRiP. Use this when you have filtered the BAM file and called peaks for ChIP-seq data. Do NOT use this skill for ATAC-seq data or general alignment statistics.

reads-mapping

Align ChIP-seq or ATAC-seq FASTQ files to a reference genome using Bowtie2, with strict input validation, library layout detection, output organization and logging. Use it when raw sequencing reads must be converted into sorted/indexed BAM files before downstream QC, peak calling, or footprinting.

integrative-dmr-deg

This skill performs correlation analysis between differential methylation and differential gene expression, identifying genes with coordinated epigenetic regulation. It provides preprocessing and integration workflows, using promoter-level methylation–expression relationships.

methylation-variability-analysis

This skill provides a complete and streamlined workflow for performing methylation variability and epigenetic heterogeneity analysis from whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) data. It is designed for researchers who want to quantify CpG-level variability across biological samples or conditions, identify highly variable CpGs (HVCs), and explore epigenetic heterogeneity.

bam-filtration

Performs data cleaning and removal operations. This skill takes a raw BAM and creates a new, "clean" BAM file by actively removing artifacts: mitochondrial reads, blacklisted regions, PCR duplicates, and unmapped reads. Use this skill to "clean," "filter," or "remove bad reads" from a dataset. This is a prerequisite step before peak calling. Do NOT use this skill if you only want to view statistics without modifying the file.

tf-differential-binding

The TF-differential-binding pipeline performs differential transcription factor (TF) binding analysis from ChIP-seq datasets (TF peaks) using the DiffBind package in R. It identifies genomic regions where TF binding intensity significantly differs between experimental conditions (e.g., treatment vs. control, mutant vs. wild-type). Use the TF-differential-binding pipeline when you need to analyze the different function of the same TF across two or more biological conditions, cell types, or treatments using ChIP-seq data or TF binding peaks. This pipeline is ideal for studying regulatory mechanisms that underlie transcriptional differences or epigenetic responses to perturbations.

dna-methylation-alignment-bismark

Align bisulfite sequencing DNA methylation reads using Bismark only, with explicit validation of reference preparation, library layout detection, output organization, logging, and alignment QC. Use it for WGBS, RRBS, or other bisulfite-converted DNA methylation sequencing data when raw FASTQ files must be aligned before methylation extraction and downstream analysis.
