DeamTools
Active development Turn deaminase-based measurements into interpretable chromatin signals.
A toolkit for processing, quality control, and downstream analysis of deaminase-based chromatin accessibility data. It quantifies editing events in aligned reads and produces genomic signal tracks for visualization and regulatory analysis.
cell2net
Active development Connect DNA sequence, chromatin accessibility, and gene expression in single cells.
A Python framework for modeling gene regulation from paired single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data. It combines transcription factor expression, peak accessibility, and sequence features to predict gene expression and investigate regulatory relationships.
pychromVAR
Compare motif-associated chromatin accessibility across single cells.
A Python implementation of chromVAR for analyzing transcription factor motif-associated variability in single-cell ATAC-seq data. Built on AnnData and MuData, it connects regulatory activity analysis with Scanpy and Muon workflows.
motifmatchpy
Find candidate transcription factor binding motifs in DNA sequences.
A Python implementation of MOODS motif matching, accelerated with Numba. It scans DNA using position weight matrices and supports higher-order models and sequence variants, providing motif annotations for regulatory genomics workflows.
scOpen
Estimate chromatin accessibility from sparse single-cell ATAC-seq data.
scOpen uses matrix factorization to recover accessibility estimates and compact representations of cells. These outputs support cell-state analysis and the study of relationships between regulatory regions.
