[1.8.0] - 2025-04-17

Added

• Enhanced SEgene_peakprep with differential analysis:
  • Added differential analysis functionality for ChIP-seq versus Input control data within the bigWig processing workflow.
  • This feature utilizes bamCompare from the deeptools suite to identify significantly enriched regions by comparing ChIP signals against Input signals.

Changed

• Updated SEgene_peakprep code and documentation:
  • Updated relevant scripts within the SEgene_peakprep directory (including bigwig_peakprep_bamdiff.py, bigwig_peakprep_bamdiff_utils.py, bigwig_peakprep.py, etc.) to integrate the new differential analysis capability.
  • Correspondingly revised associated documentation (README.md, README_ja.md, bigwig_README.md, bigwig_README_ja.md) to accurately reflect the updated features and their usage instructions.
