footprint-tools: digital genomic footprint detection and analysis#
A Python package for de novo detection of genomic footprints from DNase I data.
Features:
De novo footprint detection
Consensus footprint detection (emperical Bayes)
Differential footprinting
API for programmatic access to cleavage data directly from sequence alignment files
Warning
Please note that is documentation is a work in progress. Please contact us with any questions.
