    How to plot peak density heat map

    I just start to take the bioinformatics part of my ChIP-seq experiments. and it is not too difficult for me to do mapping and peak calling. but I want to make further analysis of my data.
    Like, whether the transcription factor binding is significantly enriched in the promoters of genes belonging to the same pathway, TGFb for example. while not other pathways (JAK/STAT, Ras etc).

    So, I want to plot the binding peaks at the promoter of a specific set of genes, and rank the peaks based on the distance to TSS.

    Can anyone help to figure out, what software should I use?
    Or I have to write the script by myself, if so, should I use perl?
    I only have a bit of experience with Python.

    I attached a similar example.

    Here is another example for this kind of heat map or high density peak map.

        looks like a custom script is needed

          plot

          Seqminer will be closet to do this

            Thank you guys.
            seqMiner seems do the job.

              any one has script or software to plot such heat maps

              I want revive this thread and would like to know if soemone can share the script here on forum or privatly or has any idea about a tool which can generate such heat maps of TSS distance vs tag density. Seqminer will not give thsi kind of Figure and is good mainly for Bam/ sam bed files of unprorocessed data.
              i am sure there are number of users who will be intrested in such heat maps.
              Thanks

                Hi Mathew,

                Probably you can use the program from HOMER software.

                    You can make these kinds of plot in SeqMonk (called the aligned probes plot). You can put them over any arbitrary region of either fixed or variable sizes.

                        you can plot heat map easily if you are familiar with matplotlib.

                        custom code would like this:
                        ###########
                        from matplotlib import pyplot as PLT
                        from matplotlib import cm as CM
                        from matplotlib import axes

                        ##create a figure and add a plot
                        fig = PLT.figure(facecolor='w')
                        ax1 = fig.add_subplot(2,1,1,position=[0.1,0.15,0.9,0.8])

                        ##create a cmap object. it controls the color and some style in the heatmap
                        ## you can change 'spectral' to other words. see the doc
                        cmap = CM.get_cmap('spectral', 1000)

                        ##create heatmap use the DATA and the cmap. vmin and vmax are the minimum and maximum value in your data
                        map = ax1.imshow(DATA, interpolation="nearest", cmap=cmap,aspect='auto', vmin=0,vmax=15)

                        ##then create the scale bar
                        cb = PLT.colorbar(mappable=map, cax=None, ax=None,shrink=0.5)
                        cb.set_label('Enrichment level')

                        ##plot it
                        PLT.show()
                        ###########
                        the DATA is like:
                        DATA=[
                        [1.4,2.2,4.7,6.1],
                        [4.1,13.5,15.0,1.9],
                        .....
                        ]

                        this is the website: http://matplotlib.org/
                        it is very powerful. You can plot almost everything you want using this module

                          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
                          by SEQadmin2



                          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

                          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

                          by SEQadmin2


                          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

                          by SEQadmin2



                          Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
