Hi

I would like to describe following figure that can compare between some TFs and Histon modifications enrichment on genome.

How do I get this figure? Furthermore, I would be glad if you tell me what name of this figure is.

Thanks!

This is a simple occupancy heatmap - Deeptools does a wonderful job at plotting these, and isn't as painful to use as other implementations.

Thanks!

Deeptools seems useful to visualise.

The wiki page has polite descriptions.

I would like to try this.

You're very welcome - but full disclosure: I have not contributed a single line of code to this project!! If you find it useful you should thank the people who made it :)

here you can find multiple heatmaps created using deepTools like the one in your example:

You can use deeptools for the purpose which is really a great resource or you can also use HOMER which is also a suite of tools

The HOMER also has other useful tools to NGS analysis.
Thank you for your advice!
