    Abstract: A method for conducting a customized analysis of open chromatin regions on a cell, comprising receiving an output file for a cell barcode genomic sequence dataset, the output file comprising a peak-barcode matrix, wherein each peak is defined by a plurality of fragment sequences aligned within a peak region, a unique barcode is associated with each fragment sequence in the dataset, and the peak-barcode matrix pairs each peak with the barcodes of the aligned fragments; and cell clusters with cells aggregated based on similarity in accessibility of specific transcription factor binding motifs associated with each cell, wherein the accessibility is determined via a differential accessibility analysis. The method further comprises adjusting customizable parameters for analyzing the peak-barcode matrix, and generating an updated output file including an updated clustering of cells, based on the customizable parameters, wherein each updated cell cluster includes cells with peaks representing a specific gene regulatory function.
