Description

Description of feature

I have a bulk ATAC-seq dataset that used a spike-in Drosophila DNA control. Info about the kit used can be found here. It would be great if a feature was developed to account for spike-in controls for atac-seq similar to the CUT&RUN work flow.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing CUT&RUN workflow and the ATAC-seq pipeline to understand how spike-in controls are currently handled elsewhere. Define the required inputs, normalization behavior, and validation criteria for Drosophila spike-in data; the work is done when the workflow supports this use case with documented, reproducible validation.
