Welcome to the deepTools wiki!

deepTools is a suite of user-friendly tools for the visualization, quality control and normalization of data from high-throughput DNA sequencing experiments.

deepTools offers multiple methods for highly-customizable data visualization that immensely aid hypothesis generation and data interpretation. It also offers all the tools needed to create coverage files in standard bedGraph and bigWig file formats allowing various normalization procedures and comparisons between two files (for example, treatment and control). For a gallery of images that can be produced, see http://f1000.com/posters/browse/summary/1094053

This wiki accompanies the code of deepTools that is continuously being developed and hosted here at github.
