• Scripture – is a method for transcriptome reconstruction that relies solely on RNA-Seq reads and an assembled genome to build a transcriptome ab initio.
  • Cufflinks – assembles transcripts, estimates their abundances, and tests for differential expression and regulation in RNA-Seq samples. It accepts aligned RNA-Seq reads and assembles the alignments into a parsimonious set of transcripts. Cufflinks then estimates the relative abundances of these transcripts based on how many reads support each one.
  • SpliceMap – SpliceMap is a de novo splice junction discovery tool. It offers high sensitivity and support for arbitrarily long RNA-seq read lengths.
  • TopHat – is a fast splice junction mapper for RNA-Seq reads. It aligns RNA-Seq reads to mammalian-sized genomes using the ultra high-throughput short read aligner Bowtie, and then analyzes the mapping results to identify splice junctions between exons.
  • PALMapper – a combination of the spliced alignment method QPALMA with the short read alignment tool GenomeMapper. The resulting method, called PALMapper, efficiently computes both spliced and unspliced alignments at high accuracy while taking advantage of base quality information and splice site predictions.
  • RNA-MATE – A recursive mapping strategy for high-throughput RNA-sequencing data.
  • ERANGE – Mapping and Quantifying Mammalian Transcriptomes by RNA-Seq
  • SeqMap – A Tool For Mapping Millions Of Short Sequences To The Genome.
  • Bioconductor – Bioconductor is an open source and open development software project for the analysis and comprehension of genomic data.
  • BWA – BWA is a fast light-weighted tool that aligns relatively short sequences (queries) to a sequence database (targe), such as the human reference genome.
  • CisGenome – An integrated tool for tiling array, ChIP-seq, genome and cis-regulatory element analysis.
  • GenePattern – is a powerful genomic analysis platform that provides access to more than 100 tools for gene expression analysis, proteomics, SNP analysis and common data processing tasks. A web-based interface provides easy access to these tools and allows the creation of multi-step analysis pipelines that enable reproducible in silico research.
  • Galaxy – Mapping pipeline for Illumina, 454, and SOLiD sequencing data.
  • MAQ – stands for Mapping and Assembly with Quality It builds assembly by mapping short reads to reference sequences.
  • UCSC Genome Browser – This site contains the reference sequence and working draft assemblies for a large collection of genomes. It also provides portals to the ENCODE and Neandertal projects.

    gainschart is a platform to streamline the process of model building with reduced modeling cycles and flexible access to modeling resources. It offer a very easy way to analyze data.

    Is there any alignment viewer for SAM/BAM file formats where alignment is done against reference transcripts (not the reference genome)?

    • What are the best practices for SNP identification in RNA seq transcriptome data
      I have 20 RICE RNA seq tranascriptome data hiseq 2000 platform paired end reads. I aligned fasta reads with BWA and remove PCR duplicates with PICARD. Later I call SNP with samtools using various parameters. I would like to clarify what parameters should I used while alinging to reference rice genome for looking SNP location 100 bp upstream and 250 bp downst […]
    • How do TopHat options -g , --supress-hits, and Bowtie options interplay?
      Hi, I am currently using TopHat2 to map RNA-seq runs. I think there have been some changes pertaining the -g option. Does anyone know how it works now? I used to think that setting -g would look for n alignments for a given read, report them [if top-scoring] and discard those reads that had more than g [top scoring] alignments. Now, the description sounds mo […]
    • What happened to -k in TopHat for multiple-mapping reads?
      Selecting -g n in tophat does not discard reads mapping more than n, but instead only reports n alignments for those out all all their TOP scoring alignments. I think there used to be an option -k that would allow one to discard reads that topped x alignments -- whatever happened to that? I only see -g in the tophat 2 manual, no reporting options like before […]
    • Does tophat use the library-type information for mapping, or just for the XS flag?
      When I specify library-type to TopHat, i.e., first-strand, second-strand, unstranded, TopHat appends a value + or - to the XS:A tag, which is useful for subsequent analyses, such as annotation. However, does this information influence the "mappability" of reads, or is this unaffected? My guess is that the information will be considered for mapping […]
    • Purpose of Y-shaped adapters in Illumina Sequencing?
      Hi all, Y adapters different sequences to be annealed to the 5' and 3' ends of each molecule in a library. The arms of the Y are unique, and the middle part, connected to the DNA fragment, is complementary. What are the advantages of this? My take of this over having fully-complementary adapters (ADAPTER1 - - - - - ADAPTER1) is that: -Upon primer a […]
    • Cell Type composition in a tissue based on gene marker expression
      I am not sure if the following would even make sense.... Tissues are composed of composite cell types, and often there are studies such as microarray/NGS where we perform a collective sampling of cells from these tissues. Information about the composition (say percentage of cell type) is not taken into consideration. In some case (such as brain/cancer), ther […]
