 ## Introduction
-BICF ChIPseq is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline used for ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing) data analysis at [BICF](http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/bioinformatics/) at [UT Southwestern Dept. of Bioinformatics](http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/departments/bioinformatics/).
+BICF ChIPseq is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline used for ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing) data analysis at [BICF](http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/bioinformatics/) at [UT Southwestern Department of Bioinformatics](http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/departments/bioinformatics/).
 
 The pipeline uses [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io), a bioinformatics workflow tool. It pre-processes raw data from FastQ inputs, aligns the reads and performs extensive quality-control on the results.
 
-This pipeline is primarily used with a SLURM cluster on the [BioHPC Cluster](https://biohpc.swmed.edu/). However, the pipeline should be able to run on any system that Nextflow supports.
+This pipeline is primarily used with a SLURM cluster on the [BioHPC Cluster](https://portal.biohpc.swmed.edu/content/). However, the pipeline should be able to run on any system that supports Nextflow.
+
+Additionally, the pipeline is designed to work with [Astrocyte Workflow System](https://astrocyte.biohpc.swmed.edu/static/docs/index.html) using a simple web interface.
+
+Current version of the software and issue reports are at
+https://git.biohpc.swmed.edu/BICF/Astrocyte/chipseq_analysis
+
+To download the current version of the software
+```bash
+$ git clone git@git.biohpc.swmed.edu:BICF/Astrocyte/chipseq_analysis.git
+```
+
+## Input files
+##### 1) Fastq Files
+  + You will need the full path to the files for the Bash Scipt
+
+##### 2) Design File
+  + The Design file is a tab-delimited file with 8 columns for Single-End and 9 columns for Paired-End.  Letter, numbers, and underlines can be used in the names. However, the names can only begin with a letter. Columns must be as follows:
+      1. sample_id          a short, unique, and concise name used to label output files; will be used as a control_id if it is the control sample
+      2. experiment_id    biosample_treatment_factor; same name given for all replicates of treatment. Will be used for the consensus header.
+      3. biosample          symbol for tissue type or cell line
+      4. factor                 symbol for antibody target
+      5. treatment           symbol of treatment applied
+      6. replicate             a number, usually from 1-3 (i.e. 1)
+      7. control_id          sample_id name that is the control for this sample
+      8. fastq_read1        name of fastq file 1 for SE or PC data
+      9. fastq_read2        name of fastq file 2 for PE data
+
+
+  + See [HERE](test_data/design_ENCSR729LGA_PE.txt) for an example design file, paired-end
+  + See [HERE](test_data/design_ENCSR238SGC_SE.txt) for an example design file, single-end
+
+##### 3) Bash Script
+  + You will need to create a bash script to run the CHIPseq pipeline on [BioHPC](https://portal.biohpc.swmed.edu/content/)
+  + This pipeline has been optimized for the correct partition
+  + See [HERE](docs/CHIPseq.sh) for an example bash script
+  + The parameters that must be specified are:
+      - --reads '/path/to/files/name.fastq.gz'
+      - --designFile '/path/to/file/design.txt',
+      - --genome 'GRCm38', 'GRCh38', or 'GRCh37' (if you need to use another genome contact the [BICF](mailto:BICF@UTSouthwestern.edu))
+      - --pairedEnd 'true' or 'false' (where 'true' is PE and 'false' is SE; default 'false')
+      - --outDir (optional) path and folder name of the output data, example: /home2/s000000/Desktop/Chipseq_output (if not specficied will be under workflow/output/)
+
+## Pipeline
+  + There are 11 steps to the pipeline
+    1. Check input files
+    2. Trim adaptors TrimGalore!
+    3. Aligned trimmed reads with bwa, and sorts/converts to bam with samtools
+    4. Mark duplicates with Sambamba, and filter reads with samtools
+    5. Quality metrics with deep tools
+    6. Calculate cross-correlation using PhantomPeakQualTools
+    7. Call peaks with MACS
+    8. Calculate consensus peaks
+    9. Annotate all peaks using ChipSeeker
+    10. Calculate Differential Binding Activity with DiffBind (If more than 1 rep in more than 1 experiment)
+    11. Use MEME-ChIP to find motifs in original peaks
+
+See [FLOWCHART](docs/flowchart.pdf)

+## Common Quality Control Metrics
+  + These are the list of files that should be reviewed before continuing on with the CHIPseq experiment. If your experiment fails any of these metrics, you should pause and re-evaluate whether the data should remain in the study.
+    1. multiqcReport/multiqc_report.html: follow the ChiP-seq standards [HERE](https://www.encodeproject.org/chip-seq/);
+    2. experimentQC/*_fingerprint.pdf: make sure the plots information is correct for your antibody/input. See [HERE](https://deeptools.readthedocs.io/en/develop/content/tools/plotFingerprint.html) for more details.
+    3. crossReads/*cc.plot.pdf: make sure your sample data has the correct signal intensity and location.  See [HERE](hhttps://ccg.epfl.ch//var/sib_april15/cases/landt12/strand_correlation.html) for more details.
+    4. crossReads/*.cc.qc: Column 9 (NSC) should be > 1.1 for experiment and < 1.1 for input. Column 10 (RSC) should be > 0.8 for experiment and < 0.8 for input. See [HERE](https://genome.ucsc.edu/encode/qualityMetrics.html) for more details.
+    5. experimentQC/coverage.pdf, experimentQC/heatmeap_SpearmanCorr.pdf, experimentQC/heatmeap_PearsonCorr.pdf: See [HERE](https://deeptools.readthedocs.io/en/develop/content/list_of_tools.html) for more details.

 ## Introduction
 **ChIP-seq Analysis** is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline used for chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) data analysis.
 
 The pipeline uses [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io), a bioinformatics workflow tool. It pre-processes raw data from FastQ inputs, aligns the reads and performs extensive quality-control on the results.
 
-### Pipeline Steps

 ## Workflow Parameters
-
-    reads - Choose all ChIP-seq fastq files for analysis.
-    pairedEnd - Choose True/False if data is paired-end
-    design - Choose the file with the experiment design information. TSV format
+    1. One or more input FASTQ files from a ChIP-seq expereiment and a design file with the link bewetwen the same file name and sample id (required) - Choose all ChIP-seq fastq files for analysis.

+## Phantompeakqualtools
+Phantompeakqualtools plots the strand cross-correlation of aligned reads for each sample. In a strand cross-correlation plot, reads are shifted in the direction of the strand they map to by an increasing number of base pairs and the Pearson correlation between the per-position read count vectors for each strand is calculated. Two cross-correlation peaks are usually observed in a ChIP experiment, one corresponding to the read length ("phantom" peak) and one to the average fragment length of the library. The absolute and relative height of the two peaks are useful determinants of the success of a ChIP-seq experiment. A high-quality IP is characterized by a ChIP peak that is much higher than the "phantom" peak, while often very small or no such peak is seen in failed experiments.

+
+Normalized strand coefficient (NSC) is the normalized ratio between the fragment-length cross-correlation peak and the background cross-correlation. NSC values range from a minimum of 1 to larger positive numbers. 1.1 is the critical threshold. Datasets with NSC values much less than 1.1 (< 1.05) tend to have low signal to noise or few peaks (this could be biological eg. a factor that truly binds only a few sites in a particular tissue type OR it could be due to poor quality). ENCODE cutoff: NSC > 1.05.
+
+Relative strand correlation (RSC) is the ratio between the fragment-length peak and the read-length peak. RSC values range from 0 to larger positive values. 1 is the critical threshold. RSC values significantly lower than 1 (< 0.8) tend to have low signal to noise. The low scores can be due to failed and poor quality ChIP, low read sequence quality and hence lots of mismappings, shallow sequencing depth (significantly below saturation) or a combination of these. Like the NSC, datasets with few binding sites (< 200), which is biologically justifiable, also show low RSC scores. ENCODE cutoff: RSC > 0.8.
