SpliceTrap
Description
SpliceTrap is a statistic tool for quantifying exon inclusion ratios in paired-end RNA-seq data, with broad applications for the study of alternative splicing. SpliceTrap approaches to exon inclusion level estimation as a Bayesian inference problem. For every exon it quantifies the extent to which it is included, skipped or subjected to size variations due to alternative 3’/5’ splice sites or Intron Retention. In addition, SpliceTrap can quantify alternative splicing within a single cellular condition, with no need of a background set of reads.
Execution Environment and Modules
To use splicetrap with the environment modules system at HPC the following commands are available:
Get module information for splicetrap:
$module spider splicetrap
Load the default application module:
$module load splicetrap
The modulefile for this software adds the directory with executable files to the shell execution PATH and sets the following environment variables:
- HPC_SPLICETRAP_DIR - directory where splicetrap is located.
