Designed with BxLIMS technology

BxChiPSeq's excellent data management and sharing functions can manage ChiP-Seq data including projects, samples, raw ChiP-Seq data files, and analysis results. BxChiPSeq comes with three highly automated and seamlessly integrated data analysis programs and a one-step data analysis tool. The ChiP-Seq data can be from users’ own experiments from published data.

 

BxChiPSeq is a novel ChiP-Seq data analysis and ChiP-Seq data sharing system.

Its easy-to-use tools help both novice and experienced users perform initial analysis of their ChiP-Seq data from the location of data storage. BxChiPSeq tools are also valuable for re-analyzing published ChiP-Seq data. BxChiPSeq is a useful system for facilities with ChiP-Seq services and laboratories involved with ChiP-Seq data analysis.

 

Control ChiP-Seq Data Files Visually

BxChiPSeq contains built-in explorer-like online file management and group-based file sharing tools. While file owners have full control of their files (e.g. create new folders and files, rename or delete existing folders and files), group members can read, copy, and download others’ files, but are not allowed to make changes.

 

Organize and Find Your Data Easily

BxChiPSeq contains a full-featured project and result search and browse tool. Users can browse project information page by page, update the viewing options, perform advanced searches, and download data in spreadsheet format.

 

Analyze All Published ChiP-Seq Data in a Few Clicks

Users can search for published ChiP-Seq data and create BxChiPSeq projects to analyze previously published data. The sample information is automatically populated in the project based on the subset information.

 

Analyze All Sorts of ChiP-Seq Data FAST

Use Express Analysis to perform data analysis in minutes. Default analysis methods and parameters can be used directly due to our built-in logic. Experienced users have the option to select methods and enter specific analysis parameters. BxChiPSeq presents online directly. The resulting files, including executed scripts and execution logs, are classified, listed, hyper-linked, and compressed in one file for easy downloading.

Analysis Preview

Online ChIP-Seq Data Processing

In this demo, we are going to perform several analyses including global peak shift estimation, local peak shift estimation, strand correlation values, tag oversampling, Q-values for regions and Q-values for peaks, using our test ChIP-Seq data. The result files are automatically uploaded to the UCSC server, and can be visualized using UCSC Genome Browser.

The type of ChIP experiment
  1. Transcription Factor-like:
    Transcription factor with defined motif and narrow binding site resulting in regions of enrichment 100-300 bp wide.
    (bandwidth = 30 bp, region size = 300 bp)
  2. PolII-like:
    PolII-like factor resulting in regions of enrichment 300-1000 bp with some narrow binding sites and some wide sites possibly occupying the entire gene length.
    (bandwidth = 60 bp, region size = 600 bp)
  3. Histone-type:
    Histone-type ChIP resulting in wide regions of enrichment 1Kb and up possibly occupying multiple genes.
    (bandwidth = 100 bp, region size = 1000 bp)

FDR Calculation

False discovery rate (FDR) control is a statistical method used in multiple hypothesis testing to correct for multiple comparisons. In a list of rejected hypotheses, FDR controls the expected proportion of incorrectly rejected null hypotheses (type I errors). It is a less conservative procedure for comparison, with greater power than familywise error rate (FWER) control, at a cost of increasing the likelihood of obtaining type I errors.

In practical terms, the FDR is the expected false positive rate; for example, if 1000 observations were experimentally predicted to be different, and a maximum FDR for these observations was 0.10, then 100 of these observations would be expected to be false positives.

The q value is defined to be the FDR analogue of the p-value. The q-value of an individual hypothesis test is the minimum FDR at which the test may be called significant. One approach is to directly estimate q-values rather than fixing a level at which to control the FDR.
