ViewBS

ViewBS visualizes and analyzes high-throughput bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) data to generate and explore single-base DNA methylomes in plant and animal systems.

Key Features:

• Tabix integration: Integrates with Tabix to enable indexed access to large BS-seq datasets.
• Large dataset visualization: Provides rapid retrieval and visualization of extensive BS-seq data for large-scale methylome analyses.
• Publication-quality figures: Produces publication-quality visualizations, including meta-plots, heat maps, and violin-boxplots.
• Figure-generation toolkit: Includes a suite of tools to generate figures for exploring and interpreting methylome patterns.

Scientific Applications:

• Single-base methylome generation: Generation and exploration of single-base DNA methylomes from BS-seq data in plant and animal systems.
• Plant epigenomics: Visualization and interpretation of methylation patterns in Arabidopsis thaliana BS-seq datasets.
• Epigenetic analysis: Investigation of DNA methylation patterns and their implications for epigenetic modifications in biological contexts.

Methodology:

Uses Tabix-indexed BS-seq files for rapid data access and provides functions to generate meta-plots, heat maps, and violin-boxplots.
