## v1.0.0 - [date]

## [1.0.0] - 2021-11-05

Initial release of nf-core/cutandrun, created with the [nf-core](https://nf-co.re/) template.

### `Added`

This pipeline is a best-practice bioinformatic analysis pipeline for CUT&Run and CUT&Tag experimental protocols that where developed to study protein-DNA interactions and epigenomic profiling.

### `Fixed`

nf-core/cutandrun was originally written by Chris Cheshire ([@chris-cheshire](https://github.com/chris-cheshire)) and Charlotte West ([@charlotte-west](https://github.com/charlotte-west)) from [Luscombe Lab](https://www.crick.ac.uk/research/labs/nicholas-luscombe) at [The Francis Crick Institute](https://www.crick.ac.uk/), London, UK.

### `Dependencies`

The pipeline structure and parts of the downstream analysis were adapted from the original CUT&Tag analysis [protocol](https://yezhengstat.github.io/CUTTag_tutorial/) from the [Henikoff Lab](https://research.fredhutch.org/henikoff/en.html).

### `Deprecated`

We thank Harshil Patel ([@drpatelh](https://github.com/drpatelh)) and everyone in the Luscombe Lab ([@luslab](https://github.com/luslab)) for their extensive assistance in the development of this pipeline.

### Pipeline summary

1. Check input files

2. Merge re-sequenced FastQ files ([`cat`](http://www.linfo.org/cat.html))

3. Read QC ([`FastQC`](https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/))

4. Adapter and quality trimming ([`Trim Galore!`](https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/trim_galore/))

5. Alignment to both target and spike-in genomes ([`Bowtie 2`](http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/bowtie2/index.shtml))

6. Filter on quality, sort and index alignments ([`samtools`](https://sourceforge.net/projects/samtools/files/samtools/))

7. Duplicate read marking ([`picard`](https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/))

8. Create bedGraph files ([`bedtools`](https://github.com/arq5x/bedtools2/)

9. Create bigWig coverage files ([`bedGraphToBigWig`](http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/))

10. Peak calling specifically tailored for low background noise experiments ([`SEACR`](https://github.com/FredHutch/SEACR))

11. Consensus peak merging and reporting ([`bedtools`](https://github.com/arq5x/bedtools2/))

12. Quality control and analysis:

    1. Alignment, fragment length and peak analysis and replicate reproducibility ([`python`](https://www.python.org/))

    2. Heatmap peak analysis ([`deepTools`](https://github.com/deeptools/deepTools/))

13. Genome browser session ([`IGV`](https://software.broadinstitute.org/software/igv/))

14. Present QC for raw read, alignment and duplicate reads ([`MultiQC`](http://multiqc.info/))
