CHROMATRA T visualizes the enrichment of chromatin modification across genomic features (e.g. all transcripts of a genome) in an unbiased way by accounting for feature length.
Furthermore, CHROMATRA T groups features based on a second characteristic (e.g. transcriptional frequency of transcripts).

.. class:: infomark

**Normalized enrichment scores**

Enrichment scores must be provided in *GGFv3* format.

.. class:: infomark

**Feature descriptions**

Features must be provided in a *TAB*-delimited format in this order:

-1. feature name

-2. chromosome number

-3. strand

-4. feature start

-5. feature end

-6. feature attribute

.. class:: infomark

**Class boundaries**

Comma-seperated values spanning the *entire* numerical range of feature attributes. Values are interpreted as upper limits of the classes.
Example: Assuming the feature attribute to be transcriptional frequency of transcripts and the attribute value range to be 0.1 up to 85.3 mRNA/h, a proper class boundary specification might look like: "1, 5, 10, 100".
This would partition the range of transcriptional frequencies into 4 classes such that *class 1* would contain all transcripts less or equal to 1 mRNA/h, *class 2* all greater than 1 and  less or equal to 5 mRNA/h, *class 3* all greater than 5 and  less or equal 10 mRNA/h, and *class 4* all transcripts  greater than 10 (and less than 100) mRNA/h.

.. class:: warningmark

The last boundary value must be greater or equal to the largest attribute value.
