TSSr - TSS sequencing data analysis

TSSr package provides a comprehensive workflow on TSS data starts from identification of accurate TSS locations, clustering TSSs within small genomic regions corresponding to core promoters, and transcriptional activity quantifications, as well as specialized downstream analyses including core promoter shape, cluster annotation, gene differential expression, core promoter shift. TSSr can take multiple formats of files as input, such as Binary Sequence Alignment Map (BAM) files (single-ended or paired-ended), Browser Extension Data (bed) files, BigWig files, ctss files or tss tables. TSSr also generates various types of TSS or core promoter track files which can be visualized in the UCSC Genome Browser or Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV). TSSr also exports downstream analyses result tables and plots. Multiple cores are supported on Linux or Mac platforms.
