BitSeq 0.7.5 / for R 1.36.0 – Bayesian Inference of Transcripts from Sequencing Data

BitSeq 0.7.5 / for R 1.36.0

:: DESCRIPTION

BitSeq is an application for inferring expression levels of individual transcripts from sequencing (RNA-Seq) data and estimating differential expression (DE) between conditions. An advantage of this approach is the ability to account for both technical uncertainty and intrinsic biological variance in order to avoid false DE calls. The technical contribution to the uncertainty comes both from finite read-depth and the possibly ambiguous mapping of reads to multiple transcripts.

LocExpress – real-time Expression Estimation of novel Transcripts

LocExpress

:: DESCRIPTION

LocExpress is a web server for efficiently estimating expression of novel transcripts across multiple tissues and cell types in human and mouse. For a given gene model, LocExpress estimates its abundance only based on its minimum spanning bundle (MSB) region instead of reanalyzing the whole transcriptome.

CPC 2 – Assess Protein-coding Potential of Transcripts

CPC 2

:: DESCRIPTION

CPC (Coding Potential Calculator) is a software to assess the protein-coding potential of a transcript (i.e whether a cDNA/RNA transcript could encode a peptide or not) based on six biologically meaningful sequence features. Tenfold cross-validation on the training dataset and further testing on several large datasets showed that CPC can discriminate coding from noncoding transcripts with high accuracy. Furthermore, CPC also runs an order-of-magnitude faster than a previous state-of-the-art tool and has higher accuracy.
