Experiments that profile nascent RNA are growing in popularity; however, there is no standard analysis pipeline to uniformly process the data and assess quality. Here, we introduce PEPPRO, a comprehensive, scalable workflow for GRO-seq, PRO-seq, and ChRO-seq data. PEPPRO produces uniform processed output files for downstream analysis, including alignment files, signal tracks, and count matrices. Furthermore, PEPPRO simplifies downstream analysis by using a standard project definition format which can be read using metadata APIs in R and Python. For quality control, PEPPRO provides several novel statistics and plots, including assessments of adapter abundance, RNA integrity, library complexity, nascent RNA purity, and run-on efficiency. PEPPRO is restartable and fault-tolerant, records copious logs, and provides a web-based project report for navigating results. It can be run on local hardware or using any cluster resource manager, using either native software or a provided modular Linux container environment. PEPPRO is thus a robust and portable first step for genomic nascent RNA analysis.AvailabilityBSD2-licensed code and documentation: https://peppro.databio.org.
