Improved ChromVAR (Chromatin Variation Across Regions)


Bioconductor version: Release (3.23)

A much faster analytical implementation of chromVAR, with additional features, used to infer TF activity from (bulk or single-cell) ATAC-seq data and motif annotations (or binding probabilities). The package also includes the CVnorm normalization method based on the chromVAR logic.
