Model Overview
The ultimate use of this model is to denoise ATAC-seq data and create a higher-quality signal for a much cheaper cost compared to collecting high quality data.
Model Architecture
The model is a residual neural network consisting of 5 residual blocks that produce the denoised ATAC-seq signal, followed by 2 additional residual blocks and a sigmoid layer to produce classification (peak calling) output. All residual blocks are composed of 1-dimensional convolutional layers and ReLU activations.
Training
This model was trained on bulk atac-seq data from 4 blood cell types (B cells, NK cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells). Noisy data depth is 1 million. Clean data depth is 50 million. Data was obtained from Corces, M. R. et al. Lineage-specific and single-cell chromatin accessibility charts human hematopoiesis and leukemia evolution. Nature Genetics vol. 48 1193–1203 (2016).

Pretrained Models: The best performing model can be found under the File Broswer tab, models directory.
Configs: AtacWorks has the ability to take in config files that specify various command line options. This makes it easy to share the exact parameters the model was trained with. You can find the configs under the File Browser tab, configs folder.
Input
The input data for this model consists of noisy ATAC-seq coverage tracks. The labels to train the model are clean ATAC-seq coverage tracks and peak calls based on the clean coverage tracks.
Output
This model learned to denoise a 1 Million read depth atac-seq data to resemble a 50 Million read depth signal, and to call peaks from the noisy ATAC-seq signal. AtacWorks outputs a denoised coverage track file and a denoised peak file. Files can be saved in bedGraph and/or BigWig formats.
Output Files: For the convenience of users, we have uploaded the output files generated by AtacWorks. They can be found under the File Broswer tab, output directory.
Limitations
This model was trained on data processed using the method in https://github.com/zchiang/atacworks_analysis. It may not deliver suitable results on data processed with different methods.
