bio-methylation-bismark-alignment

Maintainer FreedomIntelligence · Last updated April 1, 2026

Bisulfite sequencing read alignment using Bismark with bowtie2/hisat2. Handles genome preparation and produces BAM files with methylation information. Use when aligning WGBS, RRBS, or other bisulfite-converted sequencing reads to a reference genome.

Excerpt From SKILL.md

Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing

bismark --genome /path/to/genome_folder/
--pbat \ # For PBAT libraries (post-bisulfite adapter tagging) reads.fastq.gz

Post-Bisulfite Adapter Tagging (e.g., scBS-seq)

bismark --genome /path/to/genome_folder/ --pbat reads.fastq.gz


## For libraries where all 4 strands are present

bismark --genome /path/to/genome_folder/ --non_directional reads.fastq.gz

Use cases

  • Use when aligning WGBS, RRBS, or other bisulfite-converted sequencing reads to a reference genome.

Not for
