An integrated pipeline for low input epigenome profiling

Here I listed the technical development side of my PhD work, which is to create an integrated pipeline for low input epigenome profiling for biologist. This pipeline contains two parts: one is wet lab protocol package SmallCell, which enables researchers to profiling transcriptome and epigenome from ~1000~2000 cells; the other part is the dry lab code package InterSeq, which enables intersect different types of sequencing data based on their distribution pattern.

SmallCell

A wet lab bench protocol package for profiling transcriptome and epignenome from low input materials.

SmallCell-suit is a wet lab bench protocol package for profiling transcriptome and epigenomic information, namely histone modification and DNA methylation, from 1000~2000 cells. It is designed for surveying epigenetic information of rare cell populations in vivo at locus-specific and genome-wide scales.

Individual protocol can be accessed from:

o   Low input chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with smallcellChIP

https://github.com/sheng-liu/smallcellChIP.git

 

o   Low input RNA isolation and reverse transcription with smallcellRNA

https://github.com/sheng-liu/smallcellRNA.git

 

o   Low input bisulfite conversion and Sanger Sequencing with smallcellDNAme

https://github.com/sheng-liu/smallcellDNAme.git

 

 

InterSeq

A bioinformatic tool for intersecting multiple types of epigenomic datasets.

Individual package can be accessed from:

o   Calculations from a bam file with SeqData

https://github.com/sheng-liu/SeqData.git

 

o   Interface tables to flowCore with SeqFrame

https://github.com/sheng-liu/SeqFrame.git

 

o   Graphical interface for visualization and gating with SeqViz
