Diagnostics for assessing genomic DNA contamination in RNA-seq data

v1.10.0 · Package record · software · Artistic-2.0

Release Lineage

Entered 3.18 · Oct 25, 2023

Current · Requires R 4.6

1.0 In 6 of 49 releases 3.23

Description

Provides diagnostics for assessing genomic DNA contamination in RNA-seq data, as well as plots representing these diagnostics. Moreover, the package can be used to get an insight into the strand library protocol used and, in case of strand-specific libraries, the strandedness of the data. Furthermore, it provides functionality to filter out reads of potential gDNA origin.
