PRI-CAT

PRI-CAT processes and analyzes Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments with an initial focus on Arabidopsis thaliana.

Key Features:

• Automated analytical pipeline: Performs automated processing and analysis of ChIP-seq datasets through an analytical workflow.
• QuickLoad server compatibility: Stores DNA-binding maps from ChIP-seq and serves them via a QuickLoad server compatible with genome browsers.
• GALAXY integration: Integrates with GALAXY to enable secondary processing and extended analyses of ChIP-seq results.

Scientific Applications:

• Plant gene regulation and epigenomics: Enables analysis of ChIP-seq data to study gene regulation, DNA-protein interactions, and epigenetic modifications in plants, with emphasis on Arabidopsis thaliana.

Methodology:

Automated workflow for ChIP-seq data processing, storage, and visualization, with integration to GALAXY for secondary analyses.
