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, taking into account biases in library preparation protocols.
|
|
|
|
Cufflinks is a collaborative effort between the Laboratory for
|
|
Mathematical and Computational Biology, led by Lior Pachter at UC
|
|
Berkeley, Steven Salzberg's computational genomics group at the
|
|
Institute of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, and Barbara
|
|
Wold's lab at Caltech.
