Description

This track represents the 5′ end of PEAT reads generated by Morton et al. (2014). PEAT stands for "paired-end analysis of transcription start sites" and provides millions of TSS locations from wild-type Columbia-0 Arabidopsis thaliana whole root samples.

Methods

BAM files of mapped reads were downloaded from here and converted to BED using the "bamToBed" tool of the bedtools suite. Only the 5′-end coordinate of each read was retained, facilitating the visual identification of the putative TSS.

Credits

Data were generated Morton et al. (2014) and processed by the EPD team at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (Dreos et al. 2013). For inquiries, please contact us using the on-line form here or send an e-mail to rene.dreos@sib.swiss.
