Allele-specific expression (ASE) refers to the differential abundance of the allelic copies of a transcript. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) can provide quantitative estimates of ASE for genes with transcribed polymorphisms. When short-read sequences are aligned to a diploid transcriptome, readmapping ambiguities ...

The increasing amount of heterogeneous Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data generated today necessitates a robust platform for the efficient data storage, management, pre-processing, quality checking, analysis and visualization. Addressing each of these categories is a tremendous undertaking requiring high-level expertise ...
