What is the primary file output for visualizations?

The skill generates high-quality PNG, PDF, or SVG images for plots, and compressed BigWig files for genome browser viewing.

Which sequencing types are supported by this skill?

This skill provides specialized workflows for ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and MNase-seq data analysis.

Does it support parallel processing?

Yes, many deepTools commands within this skill utilize the --numberOfProcessors parameter to enable multi-core processing for faster results.

How does this skill handle file validation?

It includes a dedicated validation script to check for BAM indices, BED format correctness, and file accessibility before running intensive computations.

Can I use this for normalization across different genomes?

Yes, it includes a reference for effective genome sizes for Human (hg38), Mouse (mm10), Zebrafish, and more to support RPGC normalization.
