CUT&RUNTools: a flexible pipeline for CUT&RUN processing and footprint analysis

Genome Biol. 2019 Sep 9;20(1):192. doi: 10.1186/s13059-019-1802-4.

Abstract

We introduce CUT&RUNTools as a flexible, general pipeline for facilitating the identification of chromatin-associated protein binding and genomic footprinting analysis from antibody-targeted CUT&RUN primary cleavage data. CUT&RUNTools extracts endonuclease cut site information from sequences of short-read fragments and produces single-locus binding estimates, aggregate motif footprints, and informative visualizations to support the high-resolution mapping capability of CUT&RUN. CUT&RUNTools is available at https://bitbucket.org/qzhudfci/cutruntools/ .
