splicegrapher

SpliceGrapher is a package for creating splice graphs from RNA-Seq data, guided by gene models and EST data (when available).

Features

  • Use your favorite read mapping and spliced alignment tools.
  • Accurate spliced-alignment filtering using SVM classifiers that recognize splice junction sequence features.
  • Generate statistics of alternative splicing.
  • Visualization of splice graphs, splice junctions, and read depth
  • Use our pipeline or construct your own custom pipeline out of SpliceGrapher modules.

Results obtained using RNA-Seq experiments in Arabidopsis thaliana show that predictions made by SpliceGrapher method are more consistent with current gene models than predictions made by TAU and Cufflinks. Furthermore, analysis of plant and human data indicates that the machine learning approach used by SpliceGrapher is useful for discriminating between real and spurious splice sites, and can improve the reliability of detection of alternative splicing.

SpliceGrapher is available for download at http://SpliceGrapher.sf.net.

      I'm using edgeR in order to perform differential expression analysis from RNA-seq experiment.

    • Normalising tag count to RPKM
      Hi! I was wondering if their is a way to normalise the number of reads in a region and the RPKM of the nearest gene to that region, so that a correlation could be computed. Like the following data shows number of tags in first column and RPKM in second column Tags RPKM 15 0.14619 11 0 203 0.2259 129 10.701 300 7.0772 122 2.3234 346 10.666 77 3.117 201 16.749 […]
    • a simple question on RNA-Seq terminology
      This question may be very simple and basic, but I just need to confirm that I understand the differences among those terminologies in the RNA-Seq context. Suppose I have a sample called SLR, and it is sequenced on 5 lanes, so I have (among other output files) BAM files like L1_SLR, L2_SLR, L3_SLR, L5_SLR and L7_SLR.bam. Here, the letter "L" denotes […]

    • How to remove the intronic reads before counting
      I got RNASeq data in several samples. I checked the FastQC, seems the read quality are good (Hiseq 2000). But the problem is many reads are mapped to intronic region, and the regions have no any reference exons there (Refseq, ensembl, gencode). We don't know what they are. We guess the problem happend in library preparation, the concentration was low. N […]
