mRIN 1.2.0
:: DESCRIPTION
mRIN (mRNA integrity number) is a computational method to assess a quantitative measure of mRNA integrityta. This is done by quantitatively modeling of the 3′ bias of read coverage profiles along each mRNA transcript. A per-sample summary mRIN is then derived as an indicator of mRNA degradation. This method has been used for systematic analysis of large scale RNA-Seq data of postmortem tissues, in which RNA degradation during tissue collection is particularly an issue.
