NIEHS SNPs v1


	Once you have prepared your data, you will have many options to perform further analysis. The number of analysis tools is large and growing, We will only show you a few here. Please note: to retain reproducibility, the analysis tools you’ll find here will always be available at Galaxy, even as new and updated tools are added. Their exact location may shift, however.

	“Operate on Genomic Intervals” has many very useful data analysis and preparation tools and we’ll take a look at these in this section using a couple tools as examples.

	We will be getting upstream flanking regions from our gene locations and then determining if there are any putative Dnase hypersensitive sites in those flanking regions.

	To do this, we will use two tools in this section, “Get flanks…” and “Join….” “Get flanks…” returns upstream and downstream regions of chromosomal locations. Then “Join…” will find locations that overlap between two datasets and return a new dataset of those joined locations with data columns from both original datasets.

	Let’s start by clicking the “Get flanks…” link here.
