ATAC peak calling with MACS2: I know this is a recurring problem but I got asked a few times recently, so I just put all info here for my own ref. We now routinely convert paired BAM to simple BED file and use "-f BED --shift -100 --extsize 200" for the peak calling. Why? 1/7

I have to disagree with this thread. Here's why...

1/ single-cell RNAseq data matrix is sparse. dominant 0s makes gene-gene correlation calculation hard. Tools that I know to tackle this problem #scRNAseq : bioconductor.org/packages/relea…
