VERSE v1.0.5 – Versatile and Efficient RNA-Seq Read Counting Tool

VERSE v1.0.5

:: DESCRIPTION

VERSE is designed for high-performance read summarization for next generation sequencing. VERSE is 50x faster than HTSeq when computing the same gene counts. It introduces a novel, hierarchical assignment scheme, which allows simultaneous quantification of multiple feature types or annotation levels without repeatedly assigning reads. There is also a set of parameters the user can use to fine-tune the assignment logic. VERSE can be readily incorporated into any existing RNA-Seq analysis pipelines.

Trinity 2.13.2 – RNA-Seq De novo Assembly

Trinity 2.13.2

:: DESCRIPTION

Trinity represents a novel method for the efficient and robust de novo reconstruction of transcriptomes from RNA-Seq data. Trinity combines three independent software modules: Inchworm, Chrysalis, and Butterfly, applied sequentially to process large volumes of RNA-Seq reads. Trinity partitions the sequence data into many individual de Bruijn graphs, each representing the transcriptional complexity at at a given gene or locus, and then processes each graph independently to extract full-length splicing isoforms and to tease apart transcripts derived from paralogous genes.
