StringTie is a fast and highly efficient assembler of RNA-Seq
|
|
alignments into potential transcripts. It uses a novel network flow
|
|
algorithm as well as an optional de novo assembly step to assemble and
|
|
quantitate full-length transcripts representing multiple splice
|
|
variants for each gene locus. Its input can include not only the
|
|
alignments of raw reads used by other transcript assemblers, but also
|
|
alignments longer sequences that have been assembled from those reads.
|
|
|
|
In order to identify differentially expressed genes between
|
|
experiments, StringTie's output can be processed by specialized
|
|
software like Ballgown, Cuffdiff or other programs (DESeq2, edgeR).
