Bioc current

Characterization of Alternative Splicing Based on Paired-End Reads

v2.46.0 · software · GPL (>=2)

Release Lineage

Entered 2.12 · Apr 4, 2013

Current · Requires R 4.6

1.0 In 27 of 49 releases 3.23

Description

Infer alternative splicing from paired-end RNA-seq data. The model is based on counting paths across exons, rather than pairwise exon connections, and estimates the fragment size and start distributions non-parametrically, which improves estimation precision.
