Open chromatin assays show distinct fragment length enrichments, as the cut
sites are only in open chromatin and not in nucleosomes. As such, peaks
representing different n-nucleosomal (ex mono-nucleosomal, di-nucleosomal)
fragment lengths will arise. Good libraries will show these peaks in a
fragment length distribution and will show specific peak ratios.

Open chromatin assays are known to have significant GC bias. Please take this
into consideration as necessary.

Signal to noise can be assessed by considering whether reads are falling into
known open regions (such as DHS regions) or not. A high fraction of reads
should fall into the universal (across cell type) DHS set. A small fraction
should fall into the blacklist regions. A high set (though not all) should
fall into the promoter regions. A high set (though not all) should fall into
the enhancer regions. The promoter regions should not take up all reads, as
it is known that there is a bias for promoters in open chromatin assays.

Mitochondrial reads are filtered out by default.
The non-redundant fraction (NRF) is the fraction of non-redundant mapped reads
in a dataset; it is the ratio between the number of positions in the genome
that uniquely mapped reads map to and the total number of uniquely mappable
reads. The NRF should be > 0.8. The PBC1 is the ratio of genomic locations
with EXACTLY one read pair over the genomic locations with AT LEAST one read
pair. PBC1 is the primary measure, and the PBC1 should be close to 1.
Provisionally 0-0.5 is severe bottlenecking, 0.5-0.8 is moderate bottlenecking,
0.8-0.9 is mild bottlenecking, and 0.9-1.0 is no bottlenecking. The PBC2 is
the ratio of genomic locations with EXACTLY one read pair over the genomic
locations with EXACTLY two read pairs. The PBC2 should be significantly
greater than 1.

PBC1 (PCR Bottleneck coefficient 1)

PBC1 is the primary measure. Provisionally
N1: Replicate 1 self-consistent peaks (comparing two pseudoreplicates generated by subsampling Rep1 reads)
N2: Replicate 2 self-consistent peaks (comparing two pseudoreplicates generated by subsampling Rep2 reads)
Ni: Replicate i self-consistent peaks (comparing two pseudoreplicates generated by subsampling RepX reads)
Nt: True Replicate consistent peaks (comparing true replicates Rep1 vs Rep2)
Np: Pooled-pseudoreplicate consistent peaks (comparing two pseudoreplicates generated by subsampling pooled reads from Rep1 and Rep2)
Self-consistency Ratio: max(N1,N2) / min (N1,N2)
Rescue Ratio: max(Np,Nt) / min (Np,Nt)
Reproducibility Test: If Self-consistency Ratio >2 AND Rescue Ratio > 2, then 'Fail' else 'Pass'

Open chromatin assays should show enrichment in open chromatin sites, such as
TSS's. An average TSS enrichment in human (hg19) is above 6. A strong TSS enrichment is
above 10. For other references please see https://www.encodeproject.org/atac-seq/
