  • CAGEr

    CAGEr provides a comprehensive toolbox for analysis and visualization of CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) sequencing data for precise mapping of transcription start sites (TSS) and promoterome mining in R. It performs identification of transcription start sites and frequency of their usage from input CAGE sequencing data, normalization of raw CAGE tag count, clustering of TSSs into tag clusters (TC) and their aggregation across multiple CAGE experiments to construct the promoterome. It manipulates multiple CAGE experiments at once, performs expression profiling across experiments both at level of individual TSSs and clusters of TSSs and exports several different types of track files for visualization in the genome browser. Methods for analysis of promoter width and detection of differential usage of TSSs (promoter shifting) between samples are also provided. The package is accompanied by data packages containing FANTOM and ENCODE CAGE data that can be readily used in R, analyzed with provided tools and integrated with other genomic data.

  • MuMRescueLite

    MuMRescueLite is the software that enable to use the tag sequencies of mapped to multiple loci to the genome, for the expression analysis. At the mapping of short sequence tags of CAGE or ChIP-Seq to the genome, sequence tags that map to multiple genomic loci (multi-mapping tags or MuMs), are routinely omitted from further analysis, leading to experimental bias and reduced coverage. MuMRescueLite probabilistically reincorporates multi-mapping tags into mapped short read data with acceptable computational requirements.
    REQUIREMENTS: Python2.4 or later; platform is same to the Python itself.

  • Cross-mapping correction software

    Modern high-throughput technologies enable deep sequencing of non-coding RNA species, such as miRNAs, on an unprecedented scale. When mapping such small RNAs to the genome, cross-mapping may occur, in which RNA sequences originating from one genomic locus are inadvertently mapped to a different locus. This may give rise to spurious novel RNAs, as well as spurious editing sites in known miRNAs. The cross-mapping correction software is a Python script that aims to correct for such cross-mapping effects.
    REQUIREMENTS: Python 2.4; Numerical Python (NumPy) version 1.3 or later.
    LICENSE: The Python License.
