IsoEM 2.0.0 – Inferring Alternative Splicing Isoform Frequencies from High-Throughput RNA-Seq Data

IsoEM 2.0.0

:: DESCRIPTION

IsoEM package can be used to infer isoform and gene expression levels from high-throughput transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) data. IsoEM uses a novel expectation-maximization algorithm that exploits read disambiguation information provided by the distribution of insert sizes generated during sequencing library preparation, and takes advantage of base quality scores, strand, and read pairing information (if available). Empirical experiments on synthetic datasets show that the algorithm significantly outperforms existing methods of isoform and gene expression level estimation from RNA-Seq data
