RSEQtools 0.6 – Analyze RNA-Seq data using Compact and Anonymized data summaries

RSEQtools 0.6

:: DESCRIPTION

RSEQtools is a suite of tools that use Mapped Read Format (MRF) for the analysis of RNA-Seq experiments. MRF was developed to address privacy concerns associated with the potential for mRNA sequence reads to identify and genetically characterise specific individuals; it is a compact data summary format that enables anonymization of confidential sequence information, while maintaining the ability to conduct subsequent functional genomics studies. RSEQtools provides a suite of modules that convert to/from MRF data and perform common tasks such as calculating gene expression values, generating signal tracks of mapped reads, and segmenting that signal into actively transcribed regions.
