What is pairtools? What does it do?

pairtools is a tool suite that offers a streamlined and rapid solution tailored for processing sequencing data derived from Hi-C experiments. It executes diverse operations on Hi-C pairs and holds a central role within the standard Hi-C data processing pipeline.

pairtools aim to be an all-in-one tool for processing Hi-C pairs, and can perform following operations:

  1. Find ligation pairs in alignments and create pairs using pairtools parse
  2. Sort pairs files for downstream analyses using pairtools sort
  3. Split a pairsam file into pairs and SAM/BAM using pairtools split
  4. Find and remove PCR/optical duplicates usinf pairtools dedup
  5. Generate extensive statistics of Hi-C datasets using pairtools stats

How to use the tool

Please follow these steps for application:

a) Open the desired tool from the pairtools suite on Galaxy Europe.

b) Supply the input data files as per requirement.

c) Run the tool to process your input data.
