CUT&RUNTools 2.0
A tool for bulk and single-cell CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag data processing and analysis
Overview
CUT&RUNTools 2.0 is a major update of CUT&RUNTools (link), including a set of new features specially designed for CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag experiments. Both of the bulk and single-cell data can be processed, analyzed and interpreted using CUT&RUNTools 2.0.
Main Features
Single-cell data analysis
- raw data processing in parallel
- quality assessment and visualization
- feature-by-cell matrix construction
- dimensionality reduction and clustering analysis
- cell-type-specific pseudo-bulk data analysis
Bulk data analysis update
- supporting spike-in sequence alignment and data normalization
- options of experiment for CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag data analysis
- flexiable option for fragments selections (>120bp)
- supporting different peak calling strategies
- new functions for peaks annotation
- compatiable with more computational platforms
Installation and Requirement
Please refer to Installation Instructions.
Bulk data analysis
To learn new features for CUT&RUNTools 2.0 on the bulk data analysis, please see New features.
Once the package is installed, see Data Example for examples.
See Usage Page about how to set up the pipeline and detailed usage.
See Directory Structure for basic structure of input and output folders.
Single-cell data analysis
To get started, please see Overview.
See Data Example for a most excellent starting point to get familiar with the tool.

FAQs:
- MEME does not work (well discussed in issue 20, issue 15, issue 2)
potential solution: re-install MEME with either command
conda config --add channels defaults
conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda create -n meme meme=5.0.5 python=3.7
conda activate meme
conda create -n meme python=3.6
conda activate meme
conda install ‘meme=5.0.2’ ‘icu=58.2’
If it still does not work well, you could try to install MEME manually (issue 7). Please make sure you used the correct version, some users reported the latest version of MEME was not compatible at some points.
